BIOGRAPHY

Drummer and drum teacher from Standish, Lancashire based in Manchester since 2004, with a special interest in improvisation. I teach private drum lessons in the Northern Quarter, Manchester and online on Skype or Zoom. I’m available for live or studio work and I am always open to new collaborations - whether free or composed. I perform with Richard Dawson, Jane Weaver, Irma Vep, Waterless Hills, Yerba Mansa, Kiran Leonard, TVAM and others. I previously performed with Lonelady and have guested with Damo Suzuki (CAN), Rhys Chatham, Cian Nugent plus dozens of free improvising musicians including: Nate Wooley, Eugene Chadbourne, Alan Wilkinson, Pat Thomas and Rhodri Davies. I’ve had tours funded by Arts Council England, Jazz Services & Jazz North’s Northern Line scheme. With David Birchall I co-organised Curious Ear, which has been funded by Arts Council England.
