About Me

I live in Bristol with my girlfriend Sarah. We have 2 cats called Bob and Terry. I am a drummer and have been for 20 odd years, accordingly I have the onset of tinitus. I've been in a few bands, including Beatnik Filmstars, Kyoko, Beatnik Filmstars (again) and Forest Giants. The Beatniks are still going and we have a new album out now called 'The Purple Fez 72 Social Club'. We also have a double A side single out on vinyl with two even newer songs that aren't on the album. We filmed a recent rehearsal and two old songs are up on youtube at the moment, just type in Beatnik Filmstars and you should find them, if you're interested. I am also playing for new Bristol band The Fauns and we have an album and single due out soon and we have a couple of gigs in Bristol and London coming up. And lastly, but not leastly I have been doing some drumming on the latest Nervous Rex album, which is also out now.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:
