   About Daniel Dixon
Daniel has been playing drums since the age of 14, self taught until the age of 16 when he started taking professional lessons from the great Mr. David Lourie. From that point Daniel has built up his experience and earnt the respect of alot of local professional musicians. Alot of his playing experince comes from working with Newcastle Drum Centre percussion ensemble, The Sunderland Symphony Orchestra, taking on gigs such as The Sage Gateshead, Edinbrugh Fringe Festival, The Stadium of light and The Sunderland Empire, working close with Newcastle College lectures and working with alot of local bands of all styles and backgrounds, not only live but also in the studio. Daniels main goals are to grab as many opportunities as possible and as much experience as possible. His latest project is performing with "The Harley Johnson Quartet" they just recently performed at the "International jazz festival" at the sage Gateshead and have many more performances lined up. Daniel has a deep passion for all music and massive respect for anyone who takes it seriously, whilst having fun of course!!! Daniel is studying for his Bachelors degree in music at Newcastle University, He has recently acquired a position teaching for Northumberland County Council Music Service and is looking forward to starting this new venture in September 2008. Daniel is still currently studying private composition lessons with the great Claude Werner. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Newcastle Uni, nice one. Hows that going? I didn't go for the Bmus no... I went for a Bmus at a few places in London and one in Birmingham so hopefully I will find out what I'm doing next year after I've auditioned in a couple of weeks time (so yeah practicing like a mofo!) Will do, I'm going to see some bmus gig at the perf academy tonight... dont know alot about it but theres a jam session down at the side cafe at about 11.30 or so which i'll probably go to after if you get this message in time...

OO yes still at Rite-Vent all my plans were scuppered by life, houses and weddings to pay for, i still tell myself I'll get a proper a job soon but this is just so easy, with the invention of myspace and facebook I dont even need to leave the chair to skive. Hows the music coming along, anything I should know about? The picture of you, I found on the computer one day and it still makes me queasy.
