ABOUT
I am currently drummer with "Slyde", The No1 Slade Tribute band in the UK and Europe. We perform all over the UK and in 2013 we also performed in Germany, France and jersey. Our set list includes 50 minutes of Slade classics and also Glamrock covers by Bowie, Marc Bolan, Sweet, Wizard and others. Over the years I have played most genre's Rock, Pop, Country, Strict Tempo Dance, Soul and Funk.
I do not read music, but my improvisation is good.
