I started playing at the age of 11 listening to THIN LIZZY'S Brian Downey and also Alex Van Halens 1984 album. After a few years of playing, I found Led Zeppelin & John Bonham. I would say it's from these 3 players who were my main influences but now mostly Bonham & Lee Kerslake. It was while working with my first band we were lucky enough to work with Rick Savage of Dep Leppard who helped produce our first demos, that I got to meet Lee Kerslake. Bands I've played and recorded with are DARA, Paddy Usher, and currently Samarkind.
