Formation of My Forever
My Forever was formed by Dave Ingham and Roy Williamson after they met one night whilst out with mutual friends in Leeds.[3] Ben Watson (Drums) joined the band when he heard My Forever being interviewed on BBC Radio York saying they were looking for a drummer and keyboard player. Ben also introduced his friend and keyboard player James Potter to the band at the same time. The band line up was completed with the addition of Glen Mancrief on bass.
