I have been playing drums for as long as I can remember. I have played with the likes of: Phantom (Classic Rock Covers Band), New Horizon (Standard Covers Band) and Morroko (Standard Covers Band).

In between my various cover band incarnations I played with Original bands and toured the country with bands such as: Storm (Original Progressive Rock Band), Chase (Original Heavy Rock Band) who released the single Evensong C/W Evermore Part 2 Back in 1983, The Great Divide (Original Pop/Rock Band) and Stinkbone (Original Hard Rock Band).

I have played at various venues throughout the U.K. including: The Mean Fiddler, London, The Rock Garden, Covent Garden, London, The Firehouse, Liverpool, JBs, Dudley, and various universities around the U.K.

Although I'm only doing covers at the moment I am always on the look out for a band playing original material who are after a drummer. So any bands based in and around the Birmingham area who may be interested please let me know!!

Influences:

Queen, Rush, Del Amitri, The Who, ELO, Steve Harley and the late great Robert Palmer to name but a few.
