About me
After Studying music and performing arts at Wigan & Leigh Music College, I was able to get plenty of work playing drums for a variety of bands around the UK. playing all kinds of venues and festivals. Some of the bands set ups required me to play with a click track and some with a sampler / backing track too.Over the years i have been playing drums I have managed to clock up quite a lot of studio time and have been fortunate enough to work with some incredible producers / engineers,
I have also shot a couple of music videos too and have got to play some fantastic tours promoting the album and single releases.
I completed a UK tour as a session drummer in 2014, promoting an album launch. This was a very enjoyable and fantastic experience.
If i am not playing the drums, I work as a Drum tech. Loading in and setting the stage for the drummer / artist. I take great pride not just the tuning of the drums but also the care and maintenance of the instruments. I have worked with artists such as Melanie C, (Ricki Riccarid), The Manic Street Preachers (Sean Moore), and Starsailor (Ben Byrne).
Additional skills:
When i am not playing or teching, for my day job i teach music. I have been teaching for over Fifteen years now. I work in various different teaching environments, from one to one drum kit tuition too a full class of Samba or Djembe drums. I also teach beginner Guitar too.
Additional information:
I have recently worked with the NCS and delivered a Samba workshop that the youth group took into the community and engaged with the occupants of a Care Home.
