Been in lots of bands, even played on ITV when I was in Silva, and live on Total Rock FM. I enjoy playing in the studio whenever I get chance (not that often), but live gigs are always the best.

17) What Was The First Album You Bought: With my own money, I think it was 'Levelling the Land' by the Levellers, the first album I owned was 'PUSH' by Bros! And I may as well admit now, before you read Charmain's profile, that I did indeed have a Bros jumper.
18) Any Nightmare Gig Stories: Absolutely millions, but they all involve Rob Yeo, so I better not mention them here!
My congratulations on a wise choice!
By visiting this page, you've added to the growing number of people who actually think drummers are musicians. Oh dear me, you do have a lot to learn.
Of course I'm only joking, you have arrived at the heart, rhythm and soul of the band...the drums, and more importantly, the drummer!
Sat at the back of the room, all by himself is the drummer, a Mr Richard Lancaster, or animal as Phil affectionately has called this picture (we'll keep that between them!)
If you've got anything that even vaguely resembles a drum, Richard will gladly play it, and often give a jolly nice beat too!
