I have been playing drums since the age of 6, and have been performing as a live and studio drummer for over 20 years.
I have worked with artists such as Sir Cliff Richard, Elaine Paige, Bob Hoskins and members of Status Quo and I’m the no 1 reserve drummer for Chas and Dave, I also play with Chas and his band on occasions
Over the years I have played in various bands at some of Europe's largest and most exclusive venues such as The Royal Albert Hall, The Hard Rock Cafe and Brixton Academy and the o2 London.
In July 2005, legend has it that I was the first drummer to play at 10 Downing Street!
I currently run and play in a part time function band that gig a few times a year but Im looking to join a band full time with regular gigs.
For more information please contact me and check out my website.
