About me: I started way back in the late 70s being a roadie for my mate who was a drummer, going out setting up his kit for a couple of beers, then in the early 80s he got a job drumming for a band called Flash & then i became there roadie, travelling up & down the country, they also had a rock band on the side of that called Stormbringer, of which i also roadied for,but then i started of my Drumming career back in 1983/4 with a 3piece called The RPD band, I do not need to be reminded of this because it was my 1st time of Drumming & singing and had not quite got it right at the beginning, but I was with this band for about 2 years & in this time i was quite good at playing drums & singing harmony & occasionally lead vocal, & in 1985 i joined a 4piece band called Sweet Melody playing songs from the 50s' 60s, 70s & 80s which went down a storm in the working mens clubs across the country, we won the Lincolnshire Club award of 1985, i was with the band for 2yrs & at the end of 1987 the band split & i was out of work until 2 former members of the band got in touch with me because they wanted a drummer for there new band, i jumped at the chance & with the former Sweet Melody bass player & lead guitarist set out as 'Sweet Memories' this 4piece outfit performed songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s & 80s & went down well in the clubs & pubs across the country, & in August 1988 we got a chance to perform in a hotel in Dubai for 3 months after getting through a audition in Doncaster, things did not work out & after 3 weeks we were back in the UK, the agent got us a full diary of bookings on our return, & supported Roy Chubby Brown at the Embassy Skegness, but at the end of 1988 Sweet Memories dispanded, it was not long before i got with another outfit 'Sons Of Jet' which were a tribute to Cliff & the Shadows & The Beatles, Sons Of Jet performed at Cleethorpes, doing a full set of Cliff songs for the Grimsby Cliff Richard fan club, also on the bill was Tony Rivers & Mick Clarke, Tony arranged all of Cliff's backing vocals & with Mick Clarke who was a original member of 70s band The Rubettes, sang live with Cliff on stage & on his records, 'Sons Of Jet' also performed at the Hilton hotel in Dusseldorf, Germany doing our Beatles tribute, also on the bill was a Roy Orbison look alike & soundalike Gerry Grant who appeared on the TV show Stars In There Eyes, 'Sons Of Jet' also supported the likes of, The Rockin Berries, Marmalade, Freddie & The Dreamers & Mike Penders Searchers, doing the Hotels & camps for Butlins & Warner Holidays, Sons Of Jet split in 1990 but it wasn't long before i got together with a band called The Sillouettes, playing music from the 50s to the 90s, in about 1995 i decided to call it a day & sold my drumkit, but Mick the lead singer & founder of the band came knocking a year or so afterwards & wanted to put the band back together, with a bit of boot lickin i decided to give it one more go, & then Footloose was born,unfortunately Footloose dispanded in December 2007, but the singer Mike, (who is my best mate) is a Elvis Tribute artist, & i help him out doing his sound & lights + i am drumming for my friend Col Lewis, who is a great singer/songwriter, so i am still keeping very busy.
This video is a clip of the last club band i was in Footloose, i am drumming & harmonising on this Elvis classic Suspicious Minds, this is from Dec 2007, our very last night as a band, sad night but a great night..
The first video is various clips taken at a live theatre show with Rhythm Express & the lead singer from Footloose Mike Shelby, who is also a Elvis Tribute Artist,the 2nd clip is of Mike singing Suspicious Minds, i am doing the lights for this show.
