ABOUT

I have been playing drums pro and semi pro since the 60's. I spent many years playing in club/pub bands doing covers and MOR. Also played in Blues and Rock bands. Was freelance for some years and have played virtually everything going. I would ideally like to join a working band or new band that has gigs lined up. Guys around my age group would be fantastic, but I will consider anything. Can also do deps if your drummer is on holiday or off sick. No need to cancel those gigs I have a completely professional approach to my music and once I give a commitment I am 100% reliable. I have excellent gear, can do some backing vocals, and I also play lead guitar very well, although not my main instrument, I am available for rehearsals at most times and am willing to travel, within reason.
