Pat Cash: Tennis Ace and guitar fan talks to Live4Guitar.com


Live4guitar attended High Voltage festival in London. We bumped into Pat Cash, former Wimbledon champion, who was on his way there with his two sons. We spent some time talking about his lesser known passion: music.

Pat, the whole world knows you as a great tennis player, but we know that you are a keen guitarist. Tell us how it happened.

Pat:

I grew up listening to AC/DC and Rose Tattoo, classic Australian bands… Also my brother used to have some Led Zeppelin and Free Vinyl.

But I remember one day when I was asking around if anyone knew of any good rock albums, somebody said to me “Oh, there is this band Judas Priest, you want to check it out?” So I got this Judas Priest album called “Unleashed in the east” and that was the end, I mean… the beginning.

I got hooked on guitar and heavy metal after that.
