I am a dynamic drummer from County Durham whose career spans progressive rock, heavy metal, and blues. I have toured and recorded with NWOBHM legends Blitzkrieg and earned recognition as a sought-after Rush tribute session drummer. In New York I have performed with members of Billy Joel’s band as well as a wide range of top-tier musicians across genres.
Known for my flamboyant style, improvisational flair, and commanding stage presence, I have taken my drumming to audiences worldwide, including tours across South America. Most recently, I joined forces with Huw Holding, Bettie Rogers, and James Finnegan (ex–Hue and Cry, Stiltskin) to record two Rush tracks for the cancer fundraising compilations Songs for Neil Volumes 6 and 7, honoring the late Neil Peart.
