I began playing drums at age 14 and learnt the basics by jamming with brother Martin on guitar.In 1991 I joined rock band "Big Trouble" who soon knocked up a set of original songs and played my first gig at JB's Dudley.
I spent five years with "Big Trouble" and consantly played gigs around the country.In 2002 I started a "Stereophonics" tribute band witch turned into a general covers band called "Friendly Fire"I always kept in touch with the members of "Big Trouble" and soon found myself back with guitarist Des Sherwood and bass player Jim Rudge to form Ozzy Osbourne tribute "Prince Of Darkness"In 2005 "Big Trouble" vocalist Kevan Ward got in touch with me to form rock cover band "Interstate" witch became an original band and supported bands such as Dokken, Diamond Head and Skid Row. I currently play for Ozzy tribute "Ozzmosis" and original band "Orius" from Stourbridge.
