Murray Head empezó su carrera en los años setenta trabajando en la música de películas como Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971) mientras grababa al mismo tiempo un musical de Jesucristo Superstar, trabajando con el por aquel entonces desconocido equipo de Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice. La canción Superstar caló bien en los Estados Unidos llegando a estar en el Top 20 algunas semanas. Espoleado por ese éxito Murray Head se embarcó en un disco en solitario llamado Nigel Lived (1972) que tenía un poco habitual formato de disco-diario.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
