About Me

i have been very lucky to work with some wonderful artists over the years and in live situations i can normally summon up something very special although i play for a vast range of other bands so my own work is slotted in when possible. the tracks here were performed solely by myself to create the particular vibe i needed for each project but, as you can imagine, it comes alive with other musicians live input. i work for others mainly as a drummer, sometimes a singer and very seldomly as a keyboard and/or bass player but enjoy them all equally well. in the last few years i've been a drummer/multi instrumentalist for varying theatre shows and was musical director and composer for the tour of marat/sade accross scotland at the tailend of last year and hope more work comes along like that, i hope you enjoy my music. ciao!
