PLAYER BY KIND PERMISSION OF BRON BUICK...SOLO
Born and raised in London of Polish parentage - studied classical piano from age of 5 (it's a parent thing) though I had a great love of rock'n'roll and then developed a fascination for the blues.My folks still maintain that I could sing before I could talk - in fact they probably wished that I hadn't learned to talk!
Started serious songwriting and drumming at 14. Spent the next 17 odd years touring the world and jamming as a drummer with various bands including Flying Saucers (with Sandy Ford & Pete Pritchard),Count Bishops (with Johnny Guitar),Redhouse Blues Band, Stateline, Trux (with Eddie Allen & Roger Newell),Tilt(with Gordon Russell & Andy Heart),the now legendary Chuck Farley (with Steve Simpson,Geoff Whitehorn,Polli Palmer & the late Boz Burrell), The Gunslingers, Kix,Skat, Paddy Goes To Holyhead,some of the Ramones, Johnny Thunders,Quireboys among others.
It is due to the diverse mix of bands that I have worked with that my songwriting covers so many musical genres.
During this time apart from working for a while as the Drum Doctor at Londons' Professional Percussion I was also writing articles and reviews for music papers and magazines. Eventually hung up my sticks in 1989 after much soul searching and moved to Cheshire and then on to North Wales,to enjoy the sea and seek fresh inspiration, though I continued to write songs and play/collect guitars.
I moved back to London in 1996 and teamed up with my old guitarist mate Steve Yelland to form Back to Back and then Flashbacks but this time I was fronting the band as a vocalist/guitarist.By this time, apart from having had numerous radio sessions and TV appearances - I was also a veteran of over 2500 gigs - yes I did say two and a half thousand - at every level from pubs and clubs to major tours and major festivals.
Then a few years ago,having returned to where I grew up in West London,I got involved in some TV extras work and doing voiceovers for major radio ad campaigns. It was around this time that I hit a real low until I was asked to get together with my great friend Chris Hill,a wonderful guitar player and all round nice guy & John'Reckless Reg' McGuinness,Irelands' answer to Sugar Blue.Along with a couple of musical legend friends, namely Rory Gallaghers former sideman in Taste - Mr.Charlie McCracken on bass and Paul Atkinson on drums,we formed Smokin'Blues for a few one-off gigs.With John moving over to Ireland and having realised just how much fun we were having, ultimately we became The Buick Hill Band, a hard drivin' rockin' blues band with more than a hint of rock'n'roll on the side - and we're still rockin'!!
Nowadays happily divorced but still married to my music and songwriting, as I believe I always will be - just as the blues will always be my mistress!!
