Morning/Afternoon/Evening all!
Another overdue update here to bring you up to speed with all happening musically with me 🙂
I’ve recently finished working with one band and begun playing kit for another so now playing drums (and possibly keys/accordion, though probably not at the same time but hey, who knows?!) with Anatomy of Ghosts. The connection is the highly talented singer-songwriter Scott McMahon who I performed with in The Medicine Show, a band of a few years back.
They’re on Spotify here – AoG

Do like and follow. Also, if you are or know anyone looking for a fabulous band to gig your venue/event get in touch with me, let’s have a chat and get a date in the diary! 🙂
Our next gig is at the Alma Street Festival on Sunday 16th June 2019 at 2pm.
I’m still playing keys with The Future Shape of Sound, recent gig highlights being at Gaz’s Rocking Blues in Soho (the longest running club night in the world I believe!) and at The Craig Charles Funk Festival at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bex Hill. We headline at Mirth, Marvel and Maud in Walthamstow this Saturday 15th June 2019 and at Jamm Circus Brixton on Saturday July 6th 2019.
I am still very happily but busily (!) working as Music Coordinator at a Stoke Newington Primary School with the most recent highlight our fantastic BLastonbury Festival involving all 460 children that was a huge success with wonderful feedback from parents and friends alike.
In other personal info I’ve recently returned from 2 weeks in India that was a feast for all senses and will never be forgotten – swimming with a wild dolphin that came to me on my first swim in the sea, a highlight….
Aside from my musical exploits I’m also planning to explore more of England this summer visiting Liverpool, Leeds, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.
I’ve also recently taken up a volunteer role with Climate Change organisation GCCC and have plans to introduce environmental issues as an educational subject in my work as an educator, rolling it out across the school, borough, capital, country, continent and world…in my spare time!!! 🙂 xxxx
