Tinks

I trained as a dancer so the move to drumming was instinctive and natural.I got my first gig in an all girl covers band called HANBAL we used to play in festivals throughout the South London area. The next step for me was joining NAKED RUBY. This was an established band playing nothing but low down dirty trash, surf and punk rock. Over that particular year I gigged a lot and really developed my playing and became hungry to play as often as possible. I went on to work with other bands to develop experience and different playing styles, these include Scratch - a japanese ska band, Schist - a heavy metal/rock band, blues with Tony Slater and Emeris Baird. I busked on the London Underground in a gypsy swing duo with Koby Israelite. Another important learning curb was with FIREMOUTH. This band took me all over Europe in a van playing heavy rock. The band won a competition in Limoges to support 'Little Bob story' in the Historock festival. We headlined Printemps Bourges festival in France. I went onto play for a short while with VIZION CITY a band whose reputation on the Live circuit was exceptional. Our most interesting gig was The Croydon Fairfield Halls taking part in the semi-finals of a competition. The live footage on this page is from a gig at 93 Feet East. We recorded a few tracks together. 'Tension' is the first track, you are probably listening to it now!. Performance is very important to me and is an integral part of my life. I focus on playing music that I love, worship the gods of rock and roll and live to play music. Currently I am working on a few different projects so keep checking my gig dates......PEACE
