Biography

Who is Mark Hole?

A hyperactive and erratic boy, Mark struggled to find an outlet for his restless energy and natural exuberance. School was never easy and Mark was diagnosed with heavy dyslexia – adding further to his frustration. This, combined with frequent clashes with teachers over his refusal to conform, young Hole was regularly suspended. He was never expelled though, perhaps because of that winning smile, but certainly because his fiery little heart was always in the right place. So it went on, until on one school day the saviour of Mark’s soul presented itself…Music! Suddenly Mark Hole, impossible little wretch, was getting excellent reports – “Mark’s great! He is well behaved and focused.’ And a new direction emerged…

Mark began to find his way as a musician in his teens, beginning with his voice and his innate ability as a showman. At Eddington & Shapwick dyslexic school in Somerset, Mark discovered that there were no outlets for dramatic or musical talent. As is his nature, he decided to set up his own creative ventures at the school - if there was any opportunity to be the centre of attention then Mark was there! Soon though, his hunger for a move on to a bigger stage was ferocious and it led him to Hurtwood House – a theatre and stage school in Dorking with an impressive reputation. Mark quickly grasped the chance to shine and played leading roles in several productions, including the complex task of embodying the eponymous anti-hero in Woyzeck.
