Former and the founder member, lead singer, bass player and song writer of Reaction.
Although they were never signed, they supported some excellent bands – including The Jam, The Ruts, Fun Boy Three, and Bananarama - playing at venues like London Rainbow, Hammersmith Palais, Birmingham Barrel Organ, Dingwalls and the Marquee.
When Reaction split up Bruno formed and performed in two other bands, 2nd Phase and The Gift, before becoming too disillusioned, and decided in 1985 to hang up his guitar.
Following a surprise gift from his wife two years ago of an acoustic guitar, Bruno started writing again.
In 2006 Bruno wrote and recorded a song called Forever England, with the intention of persuading a major act/artist to record it and release it for the World Cup.
Undeterred by the countless rejections, Bruno got BBC Radio 5 Live to play it, and this had a domino effect which resulted press coverage, further national radio play on Talksport, then on local stations of BBC Radio Derby, BBC Hereford & Worcester and BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.
He then performed the song on BBC Midlands Today and on Central ITV.
Bruno has continued writing and decided that the only way to establish himself back in the music scene was to start gigging again - his solo success has has surpassed anything that even Bruno could have imagined.
His style has been described as “acoustic Power Pop and is a cross between The Housemartins/Billy Bragg/The Lightning Seeds.
The most frequent comments about his music are that it is very lyrical, very British, down to earth and honest.
Over the past 18 months Bruno performed over 120 gigs which included some notable supports to some excellent acts including:
Ian Mc Nabb (ex Icicle Works), Dr Feelgood, Steve Gibbons Band, Roy Wood, Trevor Burton Band, 3 Daft Monkeys, Keiran Halpin and The Acoustic Who
This year, in 2010, Bruno released a new World Cup 2010 song called BE THE BEST on Perry Road Records under the guise of Bruno Gallone & The Toyz. Available on Itunes, Amazon and CDBabay
