ABOUT

Started off playing a piano when I was young, switched to electronic organ (yep...I know...LOL!) then went to keyboards before becoming a drummer.
Started going to Jam Nights at local pubs several years back before forming a covers band with some friends. Self-taught myself how to translate normal sheet music into tab for our bass player. Stayed with the band for a while before handing over the sticks to the wife of one of the band members.
Been out of the loop for a while but continue practicing lots of different songs from various genres. Decided that it's time to get back into doing something I love - music & performing with a band. Looking for like-minded people to form a band with or to join up with an established group, have fun practicing with and (hopefully once all this Covid eases up) start performing gigs with or just going to Jam Nights to perform in front of a live crowd. Performing in front of a crowd is such a rush of positive energy - it beats sitting at home watching endless hours of television!
I work for the ambulance service so have a fairly predictable shift pattern and playing music is a great stress relief!
