Simon Berriman

2009 has seen continued work both live and in the studio with Alex Cornish to promote his debut album Until The Traffic Stops (Belleview Records) including a number of tours and festivals such as Wychwood, Rockness, GoNorth and Sellindge plus a couple of live radio sessions on Radio 1 and Radio Scotland.
Oother exciting stuff which has happened is the single My Word What a Mess spending 5 weeks on the Radio 2 Play List and the track, Untied, being used during the BBC's Open Golf coverage.
I’ve also been out and about playing and recording for The Motowners show and hit the holiday parks with the Quantum Project cabaret show, both produced by the magical PX Productions. As well as all that, 2009 has also seen my out live and in the studio with Pippa Rogers and have hit the stage with Chris Sheehan of the Low Laterns.
My playing's been described as solid, which I guess means I like to find the pocket and stay there... I do have some chops but prefer them with chips and peas! I'm influenced by drummers who play for the tune and keep the groove..
Last year, I was busy not only with Alex, but also completed a number of UK and European tours with the Quantum Project and was in the pit for The Little Shop of Horrors at the Edinburgh Fringe.
In the past I’ve recorded and toured with acts such as Dark Chunk, FO8, Tracie Hunter, Audiocalm, Meebar, Stevey Hay, Albert Lee, Linda Gail Lewis and Owen Money to name but a few.
Theatre projects include shows such as The Little Shop of Horrors at The Edinburgh Fringe, Peter Pan and Aladdin as well numerous cabaret shows across the UK.
