I've finally got round to writing some stuff about myself..Have been drumming now for 27 years.I live in Beckenham,a small town in Kent,near to London.Currently gigging with Led Zep tribute act 'Letz Zep' & having a wicked time doing it!It must be greatest gig ever for a drummer,playing those tunes.Played with thrash band 'Decimator' in early 90's when I left the sleepy Kentish town of Ashford for the bright lights & stardom of London!!Still waiting for all that unfortunately but in the meantime,have played with all sorts of wierd & wonderful folk like Phil Mogg & Pete Way (UFO),,the aformentioned Decimator WOOOOAARGH!!Grand Slam (with Lawrence Archer) guitar god Bernie Torme amongst others. All this as well keeping the dollars coming in as a plasterer has kept me very busy for the last 16 years but I enjoy life & music has given some of the most amazing experiences I've ever had.I had my 1st experience of touring with folk rocker Paul Roland in the late 80's giggng around some of the small clubs in Europe,getting drunk,ripped off whatever but enjoying it never the less.Did 6 studio albums & 1 live album for Paul that are floating around cyberspace/woolworths somewhere but have just finished his new album,just before he moved to Germany so at least I know I can finally afford that mansion,swimming pool & flash cars on the royalties!!!!Letz Zep are going great guns at the moment with sellout shows up & down the country,it seems the popularity of the mighty LZ just seems to be growing & its truly awesome to be involved with it & be playing John Bonham's drum parts the best I can.Anyway thats some stuff about me.I also like animals,sport,and anything unusual/wierd/etherial.Oh yeah,played bass/drums in goth band Ordinary Psycho a few years back,theres some tunes floating about the net if youre interested!Tarra for nowCLICK HERE TO SEE 'LETZ ZEP' ON BBC2 'NEWSNIGHT' 12/09/07object width="425" height="350"
