As a professional drummer, I have played with countless functions, tribute and Indie Rock bands for the past 10 years. Recent stand out gigs include learning entire festival sets for Pulp'd and Blur2 tribute acts in two days, shadowing Jimmy Carr for an 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown filming skit to be broadcast next year and performing originals at the Cavern Club in Liverpool. I regularly balance gigging with teaching drums at Hobley's Music School. I am thoroughly enjoying regularly dep drumming for a wide range of functions, tribute acts, weddings, percussion ensembles, originals and corporate events.
