Welcome to the site of  a freelance professional gigging  drummer,  living and working in East Sussex in South East of England, UK.

I was trained on the Jazz and Light Music course at Leeds College of Music. I play all kinds of music in many different styles and situations from jazz to theatre, function bands to cabaret and a very fluent reader. I am a qualified and experienced teacher but no longer teaching.

Drummers may find my vintage drum catalogue collection of interest as well as my drums and equipment and my links page which includes most of the drummers who have helped me either directly, by their playing ,writing or by pure inspiration.

My business, run in partnership with my wife Joan, is the Entertainment Business Prima Artists and we now have a specialist Cruise Entertainment Division
