DATE OF BIRTH: 21st April 1941

PLACE OF BIRTH:
Lydney, Forest of Dean

MUSICAL INFLUENCES: Gene Crupa and Steve Gadd

INSTRUMENTS PLAYED: Drums

PREVIOUS MUSICAL EMPLOYMENT: Mecca holiday camps and much more!

WHEN AND HOW I BECAME A WURZEL: In 1981 I was working with the BBC in Clifton as a session musician and it was looking as if work was going to run out. I had heard that the Wurzels were looking for a drummer - so I contacted their management and ended up as their drummer.

IF I WEREN'T A WURZEL I'D BE: A food critic or chef

FAVOURITE 3 SONGS FOR DESERT ISLAND DISCS:

1. 'Waltz for Debbie' (Bill Evans)
2. 'Fifty Ways to leave your lover' (Paul Simon with a great drum intro by Steve Gadd!)
3. 'The Planets Suite' (Gustav Holtz)

TIP FOR THE TOP: A warm summer!
