​
Influences:- I was interested from an early age of around 3/4 to play drums growing up seeing bands most weekends in a local social club, also I'd hear in my childhood Warwick Girls Marching Band and hearing them rehearse will always be something that inspired me, but most of my influences are from my hero Ian Paice of Deep Purple.
Growing up I was always played music of many different great bands and singers that my parents got me watching or listening to.
I was taught basic rudiments on a cardboard box by my neighbour Steve Broughton (deceased) who drummed for Leamington/Warwick band Edgar Broughton Band and he featured on Mike Oldfields Tubular Bells.
​
Currently I just keep playing where I can and I love open mics and helping musicians where i can.
Playing drums has always been something I'm passionate about and playing live is just something else.
