Adam Temple was born in London in 1958. He and his variety artiste parents moved to Manchester soon after, where his mother became a popular singer on the booming northern club circuit. By seventeen, now a guitar player and singer fronting a glam rock band, he left school to tour Denmark. During the winter of 1979 he busked on the Paris metro. Heading south to the Canary Islands, taken on as a merchant seaman, he undertook a voyage that rekindled his African roots after the boat finally docked in Nigeria (the origin of his birth father, a founder member of the celebrated Southlanders vocal group, who emigrated to the UK in the early fifties). The eighties saw him accompany rock legend Screaming Lord Sutch; moonlight as a Tarzan singing telegram; spend a year serenading the Marbella jet set, and accept a residency in Wichita, Kansas! Returning to London in 1986, he made several appearances in Strike it Rich, a BBC TV drama, while performing in pubs as part of the zany piano/ guitar duo Rogers and Hammersmith. Later, he created and performed songs with a new three-piece group to rave reviews. Following the millennium, his first foray into writing produced an experimental unreleased autobiography, 'You Should be Famous: the Diary of an Unknown Entertainer.' In 2013 he wrote 'The Adam Temple Show' and 'Football Fandango.' Broadcast from his flat, the Orange Bunker, these episodic internet musical comedies featured several accomplished actors and performers, putting smiles on faces from Tottenham to Timbuktu. His debut novel, 'Everybody Do What You're doing,' was completed during the pandemic lockdowns. Continuing to write and perform, Adam lives in Maida Vale, West London.
