I have played drums since the age of 0yrs. You prob'ly don't believe that but it's true. Back then it was just kitchen pots and wooden spoons. Now of course it's PEARL MASTERS SERIES (all maple) and ZILDJIAN Super 5A. Pretty cool for a poor bald child from the wrong side of the tracks eh?Oh sure the glitterati has, from time to time, beaten a path to my door. Great artists such as Nick Heyward, Squeeze, Mark Knopfler, Kimberley Rew, William Topley, The Lightening Seeds, Nick Harper, Glenn Tilbrook, Aimee Mann, Paul Young, Marcella Detroit, Paul Brady; familiar names to you all I'm sure, became more like friends than employers. But fortunes can go down as well as up, and when I was down it took a bizarre twist of fate (ask me and I might just tell...) to pluck me from the obscurity of the New Cross Inn (London SE15) where I was eking out a meagre existence in a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band (twice weekly).The good times have been rocking ever since. It's been a rollercoaster of sold out shows, movie premiers, glamorous back-stage parties, hangin' with the A list in prestigious studios and touring the globe in a big, camp, chromium plated bus (gotta love the bus).Ultimately of course I have you, the public, to thank for this enviable lifestyle and so I do. Thank you all. It's a BLAST! It really is.
