IGF RhythmFest

It is a totally fantastic, one of a kind, inspirational, educational and 100% great fun course. I have attended 8 times before. I honestly believe that the standard of the teaching is as high or higher than anything else available in the UK.

What are your current projects?
The live band side of Malachai are on hiatus whilst Scott and Gee promote the album in the US and record the second album, so recently I’ve been working with Pitchshifter off shoot Gunslingerblack and I’m working on my own project with Damon Minchella (The Who/Ocean Colour Scene/Paul Weller), Kieron Pepper (Prodigy/Dead Kids) and Andy Norton (The Crimea). Geoff Barrow from Portishead had a big hand in the drum sound on this, so it sounds killer. I’ve just finished an album that’s being released that I did with most of Robert Plants band and was produced by John Leckie called Men From Mars, plus I’ve being working a lot with Kerrang favourites Cars On Fire. I’m head of drums at BIMM Bristol and doing my MA in teaching there and I’ve been the Technical Editor for Drummer Magazine for about a year and a half.
