Welcome to my Blog! A collection of memories and experiences while undertaking my favourite past-time playing music including my own gig reviews playing with Splinter since joining in January 2006. I hope these give an insight into the sometimes bizzare working of a drummer's mind and some of the things we deal with along the way. I've started with the gigs that have taken place since I set up the Blog so some earlier dates will be missing - I may add them in due course.
Well - it seems I may be on a trip to France sometime soon to do some recording for an old muso mate. My ex-A NEW OPERA frontman/keyboard buddy, Andy Tillison, now of famed progressive rock band THE TANGENT, is recording his next solo album and has invited me over to spend some time at his base in deepest France putting down some drum tracks. Need to pin down some potential dates and all that - updates as and when anything happens.

Ex-professional part-time muso, husband and proud Dad of two brilliant teenagers. Born in Harrogate, raised in Wetherby, then Rotherham until leaving home in 1974 to go to Huddersfield Polytechnic School of Music. Followed musical path until mid-80s when lack of funds required gaining a "proper job"! Started at Opera North admin, then moved to The Ridings Housing Association 18 years ago and still there! Now reached heady heights of HR Manager with newly merged organisation "Connect Housing". 2005 saw me getting back into playing after nearly 10 years off - just a bit rusty! Now playing with Leeds band - Splinter - and enjoying every minute!
