Bongo1969 + Musician in Derbyshire, EN

ABOUT

After dedicating 40 years to playing drums in a marching band (multi-tenors), I am now performing with a couple of local cover bands.

One of them is Bombshell, a tribute band celebrating the legends of women in rock! We deliver high-energy performances and pay homage to iconic female artists who have shaped the genre.

The other is Rock-It-Fuel, a rock band that covers more than just the usual rock repertoire—live, loud, and fueled by pure rock energy!

My musical tastes are diverse, but I have a strong foundation in rock. Influences range from classic bands like Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, and Led Zeppelin to modern acts such as Metallica and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

As a drummer, I’ve developed a solid skill set across various styles and techniques over the years, allowing me to bring versatility and power to every performance.
