BIOG

A very experienced touring and recording drummer, based in the UK — originally from Glasgow, and now living and working there full-time from a fully-equipped studio.

Having played kit seriously for more than 35 years, I picked up my first sticks (and brushes) at four, with a first drum kit shortly after. That early start came from my parents being professional jazz musicians — so as a child I was constantly around music and musicians, and saw "out gigging" as completely normal. Many of the teachers I'd later meet already knew my folks from the gigging scene.

Growing up in Glasgow through the '70s, '80s and '90s meant exposure to a rich vein of musical talent and access to some of the best recording and rehearsal facilities around. Gigs were in abundance, as were sessions, some radio play and TV appearances. I'm able to play and contribute to writing and production across all genres.

After time out raising three kids to their teens, I returned to the percussive arts with new passion — rehearsing, gigging and recording solidly for many years, and always enjoying working with new people. Happy to audition for touring and recording projects, so please do get in touch.
