The world knows Brian Forster best as Chris Partridge, the youngest boy in The Partridge Family, and the group’s drummer, which was his passport to fame. On September 25, The Partridge Family will be 50 years old having first aired on ABC that day in 1970, and in our conversation Brian recalls his excitement of landing the role and how he learnt to play the drums. He also also been a science teacher, wine maker, race winning race car driver and these days races historic Formula Ford single seaters. He recently got his first British passport thanks to his family ancestry: his great, great, great grandfather was Charles Dickens, regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era writing A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist and Great Expectations. His grandfather was Alan Napier, who played Alfred the faithful butler in the Batman television series; his mother actress Jennifer Raine;  father Peter Forster a renowned director, television and film actor; and his stepfather Whit Bissell a character actor. In our conversation, Brian reflects on:  His favourite episodes as a member of The Partridge Family What he learnt from his co-star David Cassidy Explains how his drumming technique improved Talks about his passion for motor racing His love for wine making His family history Why he and his wife might move to the United Kingdom

In conversation with Partridge Family actor, Brian Forster

Rich and Thom down to talk with Brian Forster. Brian is the lead vocalist for Seven Second Circle, a band that is comprised of four members of Henry’s Child. Henry’s Child met Brian at the Westside Station in Salem, specifically through the bar manager Jason Coleman. Jason had a huge affinity for music and brought together the most many Eugene bands like Floater and Jollymon, as well as staples like Aggrobatch and, of course, Henry’s Child. Brain talks about how he got into music and how his Mom’s boyfriend Denny greatly influenced his musical taste, exposing him to Kiss and Van Halen. Brain discusses early versions of his band “Taxi Cab Floors”. This is how Brian met the guys in Henry’s Child and even participated in shows at the Westside Station and The WOW Hall by helping sing “Handguns and Chainsaws” from the stage. We wrap up this great conversation with the story of how Seven Second Circle got the “Divide” record pressed and how important the niche of Progressive Rock became for the band. In this episode you learn what name Seven Second Circle almost chose as an alternative band name.
