THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

As the lead singer of the WALKER BROTHERS on stage SCOTT ENGEL has power and drama.  He will raise one hand helplessly before his tortured handsome face in the middle of The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore and a thousand and one girls will collapse in weeping, hysterical masses.  Scott Engel is the new thing in heartthrobs on the British pop scene.

I’m not a recluse.  I’m definitely not that.  I have friends and I go to dinner.  I like people, but sometimes I can’t wait to get away and be on my own again.  I’m an outsider, for sure.  That suits me fine.  Solitude is like a drug for me.  I crave it.
