Page "Level 42" Paragraph 4

Mark King and the Gould brothers ( Phil and Rowland, the latter generally known by his nickname " Boon ") were all brought up on the Isle of Wight and played together in various bands during their teenage years.

Phil Gould went on to study at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where he met keyboard player Mike Lindup in a percussion course.

Both musicians found that they shared musical heroes: Miles Davis, John McLaughlin, Keith Jarrett and Jan Hammer.
