Was great to be first call dep cover on the epic @secret_cinema Grease the Immersive Movie Musical this summer
A great honour to meet and cover the unreal @soundslikefez on the tubs
Here’s a bit from learning the pad a few months back - hands down my favourite song from the film!
Trying to work on:
- solid groove and time
- adding little bits of rhythmic colour to mark hits
- thinking about weight and drive of the drums; leading from the bottom

An epic time earlier this year playing with the legend @corinnebaileyrae at the iconic @roundhouseldn
Here’s some thoughts from the drum chair - a gig of all new music, with lots of improv happening on the night to keep me on my toes

An honour to be invited to fix and manage the house-band for the @pizzaexpresslive Jazz Club 50th Anniversary event this week. @joe_webb_music trio led by the formidable and legendary Jamie Cullum.
Such an incredible club that holds a very special place in my heart - so a privilege to play a small part in this historic event!
Some very exciting things in the works with Pizza, can’t wait to tell you about it soon!

The only way to say goodbye at gigs is with a little bit of “so long, farewell”… stick around for the choreo

Sad to see this epic show closing recently - one of my absolute favourites from the last few years, and a truly formidable band!

Love it when a show swings like this!
Practicing along to the live recording of Harry Potter dancing his wand off
Trying to keep that big big band sound whilst keeping it safe and mature playing wise

🇵🇷 Such a fun play this show; a great one to use for practice cause it flips so much between hard Latin and some fun hip-hop grooves. Nice to have a blow on the bass too! #drumcover #mt #musicaltheatredrummer #bass #intheheights
Throwing in some Gershwin classics in “S’Wonderful” - had a lush time playing this at @royalalberthall last week
