FEBRUARY 2025 ...

​

HELLO!!!  Belated Happy New Year greetings to everyone ... can we still say HNY once January has passed??  I'm saying Yes, yes you can!!  So again, Happy New year everyone!  Hope the festivities at the end of 2024 treated you all well, I for one very much enjoyed some downtime and some daily pad meditations.  Current favourite practice books are the superb 'Match Fit Hands' by Steve White & Russ Tarley, which has very quickly become a go to, the fabulous '3/4 Rudimental Rundown' by Eric Binder as well as revisiting a couple of my old favourites - Charley Wilcoxon's 'Modern Rudimental Swing Solos' and 'The All American Drummer - 150 Rudimental Solos', which I never seem to tire of!

​

January started calm as it usually does, with several remote sessions to kick start the year - a couple from the USA and one from London.  Drop me a line if you want me to record drums remotely for your project!  Got our on the road for some gigs too - RnR with The Firebirds, country with CASH and was fabulous to be back in a theatre with Tony Christie as part of 'THE GREAT FAREWELL TOUR' which will take us up and down the motorways of the UK and a return to Germany for a run of shows there.  We have been spending time in the studio recording with Tony too which is sounding great!  Also looking forward to upcoming dates with BIG BOY BLOATER & THE LiMiTs, CASH & more!

​

See you out on the road somewhere - keep looking out for one another!

 

Peace & Love as always Brothers & Sisters
