ABOUT

I am an experienced and competent drummer who has been playing for a 6 years fairly regularly after a longish break (check YT video)I have played rock, hard rock, progressive, funk, pop, jazz (some) with original and covers bands over the years. I have live and studio experience and recorded for the BBC on one occasion. I'm looking for a covers or original material band for gigs a few times a month or maybe more. Like a lot of people on here I'm sure I have a full time job to pay the mortgage ...however I have some flexibility in my job and am very keen to get playing regularly again.
