About Me

Hi my name is Allen Jarvis,I've been playing drums for 50 years (yes my hands are sore now) professionally for 40 of them years.

My one aim in life is to promote live music. At the moment im busy recording with members of other bands who for one reason or another want to play music other than the type they are playing at the moment. Im also supporting bands etc that are trying to play diverse musical styles that give the public a wider range of choices. Young musicians I believe should be encoraged and nurtured by us older musicians who hope to show them the way to succeed in this wonderful music business.My passion in life is the Shadows,if there is any other musos out there who want to form a Shadows tribute band and live in the grimsby area give me a callI now play in a band called The HouseShakers which i really enjoy. Playing songs mainly from the 1960s ( my era )
