Biography

Born in North London sometime after the Bronze Age I have always wanted to play drums. I have always wanted to be the drummer. I met some dudes in the school music room in 1976 and we formed a band. Spandau Ballet was born and the rest is history. A fairly well documented history. Thus I have travelled the world and beyond, and continue to enjoy what I do. Never forget how great you are.
