A volunteer is much better than 10 pressmen and Marcus was blessed with attracting the attention of Mr and Mrs Cassidy who could not have children of their own. they were a loving and kind family and brought him up in the North Manchester town of Higher Blackley.

The highlights were supporting some of the more well known artists of the time and performing in front of their audiences. His music career took him to London where he lived in Surbiton, Surrey. until his music career fizzled out due to, in his words, I couldnt sing very well.
