BONGOCLIVE

Hi all, glad you could make it!BONGO first hit a beat alongside his Jazz drummer Dad when he was four and that was it. The pots and pans from the kitchen at home and his Dad's drums were blessed from then on. As time moved on, he played more and more and through showing so much interest in music being played around him as well playing the drums by ear whilst listening to many different tastes in sounds, he was pushed more and given tuition in learning to read the music and master his chosen instrument. When he was eleven his drum roll skills progressed to another level and he became the lone drummer in a marching band, stepping forward as confident as they come, instead of his elder piers within the band, which lead him into learning and to read music playing the Trumpet, French Horn and the Cornet all being brass instruments, which in the end was always smothered by his number one interest, the drums!! School kicked in, as did the original "HIP HOP" scene in 1983/4 and going quiet on playing the drums and everything else, he went with the flow and started Breakdancing for a good three or four years with a crew from Bromley in Kent called "Shock Box" under the name of BABY BREAKER learning just a few tricks individually as did anyone who danced properly back in the day, being Crazy Legs, Windmills and Head Spins, which he still manages to do on the off chance when he's had a few drinks!!! Rarely even looking at the drums, his clubing days then started and that was it, the Bongos and Congos appeared in his life and percussion was the way forward!!
