2025 was good to me and I’m very thankful.
Thankful to my amazing wife and family for their support while I kept adding more tours to the diary.
Thankful to every colleague I’ve worked with this year. From my OG’s to my new friends. You make being away from my family infinitely more tolerable.
Thankful to the bands I love that understood when I said I needed to go work on a mammoth pop show. I’ll hopefully be back with you soon.
Thankful to everyone who helped me make some pretty tough decisions and supported my growth. Love you. đź‘Š
This year I had to take a temporary step away from drumming to further my career in Stage Management. Whilst this makes me sad it’s the best way I can provide for my family and afford the K-Pop Demon Hunters merchandise my daughter is so obsessed with. It’s only short term and I’ll be back on stage soon I’m sure. But for now I’m behind the scenes with 2 radios and a load out plan!
I did however I get to close out the year playing at the annual Joe Carnall Xmas bash. Even more special with Charlotte on bass and 2 of my best pals on guitars.
So yeah, BIG year professionally whilst at home my two little rockers continue to astound me with every inch that they grow. 🥰
2026 is already shaping up to be a busy one, I’m getting my snowboard holidays in before I get dragged back out on the road. Starting with another 🇺🇸 run in February/March.
Big love everyone, hope you’ve had a lovely festive period with your families… See you in 2026. 🍾🎆

Dua Lipa - North America 🇨🇦🇺🇸
A few snapshots from a career highlight tour of North America. Ticked off some huge bucket list venues and gained some invaluable experience.
Huge thanks to the dream team of fellow roadies I’ve spent the last 7 months with. It’s been an absolute pleasure and I hope we can do it again soon…
Special thanks to @thelostroadie for bringing me onboard and my partner in crime @jakevernum for being Woody so I could be Buzz. Love ya mate! đź‘Š
Now time to dedicate myself to the kids whilst Charlotte is on tour. #dadlife

10 years ago I first visited Newcombe’s Ranch on an @officialtriumph Bonnie T100 they loaned me for my time in LA whilst on a US Tour. 🇺🇸 It was the first time I’d ridden a motorcycle outside of the UK and the spectacular canyon roads north of the city blew my mind.
It was a real full circle moment to be able to take the new 2458cc Rocket 3 Storm back to that same spot last week, nearly exactly a decade later.
@triumphamerica were kind enough to loan me 5 brand new bikes so myself and some of the Dua Lipa crew could take advantage of our downtime during a 4 night residency at the Forum. Needless to say we had an unbelievable week! 🤯
Since being introduced to Triumph motorcycles in 2014 by @gareth.bright.woodcote they have taken me on some incredible adventures. From first playing “Triumph LIVE” with @reverend_makers and then riding their bikes all over the world. It’s been an incredible journey.
Eternal gratitude to everyone there for the continued support. Thanks to @shoutdutch@southerncaliforniatriumph for providing the bikes. I’ll be back next year for a very special rockstar road trip.
Until next time… 🏍️ For The Ride! 💪💪

Had to make a reel about my day yesterday, boss kindly gave me the day off so I figured I’d take the bobber out for a cruise. Turns out it wasn’t that simple.
Still, all turned out nice in the end. 🏍️
In March I got a txt out of the blue whilst in the milk aisle of Tesco. I was leaving for a US tour the next day and my schedule was already full for the rest of the year.
That message threw all my plans into the air though. I had been offered an opportunity to join the Stage Management team with Dua Lipa, one of the biggest productions out in 2025.
After a lot of soul searching and incredible understanding from my existing clients I accepted the position.
Fast forward 3 months and here we are….
Dua Lipa - Radical Optimism - Europe/UK tour complete. âś…
Over 200+ Touring Crew, 30 Trucks for the stadia (26 in the Arenas), nearly 150 local crew call. This gig is a monster but the team are absolute top tier. Lovely humans at the top of their game. It’s an honour to work alongside them.
Once again HUGE love to my ST/BIFFY/BFMV family for encouraging me to test myself in the Champions League…
