I graduated from Leeds College of Music in 2013 and have been a professional musician ever since. I specialise in early jazz, swing, jump jive and early rock ‘n’ roll from the 1920s to the 1950s; and play all sorts of gigs ranging from weddings, festivals and events to touring the UK and Europe for weeks at a time. My passion is trying to play authentically with the right feel, equipment and image, and relish the idea of taking people back in time with me when I perform. I really enjoy the process of recording but have realised how few people understand the idiosyncrasies of 1940s and 50s drumming and how to capture it authentically in a studio setting. So here I am, trying my best to give other people who are passionate about this style the best sounding and feeling drums I can.
