Well you already know my name. I started playing drums at
the tender age of 6. Along with my brother and sister, we would play
as a cabaret act in my parents dance band. As kids we were something
out of the ordinary, and soon made appearances on television shows and
radio. As time went on I became more interested in guitar, and
went on to play in different bands on both guitar and drums.
Nowadays my main instrument seems to be guitar, but I still play drums
and bass with bands and different projects. It all depends on
the music and what is required. I think I am equally proficient
on all three but you can make up your own mind from the sound bites
I have on this site. Some times I'll work on a project playing
all three instruments which is pretty cool when I get the chance.
This website is here to give information to anyone who's interested
in finding out about me, seeing what I've done, and hearing some snippets
of my work.
...And what do I do??
I've been writing and performing music on various things, and with
various people, and rather than go into a long boring story about each
thing, below are just some of the highlights in a neat tidy list..........
ah, bless...
This is the stuff you might recognise, not to mention some great bands
I've had the good fortune to play with and other recording I've done for
television and also other artists.
