As a drummer I'm experienced in studio, touring, cabaret, theatre and radio performances. My playing's been described as solid, which I guess means I like to find the pocket and stay there. I do have some chops but prefer them with chips and peas!
Currently I play for Scottish singer songwriter, Alex Cornish, touring extensivley throughout the UK, including numerous headline tours, festivals and as support to acts such as Amy MacDonald, Morcheba, Starsailor and Sandy Thom.
As well as being part of Alex's touring band, I have recorded on all three of his albums, No Shore (2011), Call Back (2010) and Until the Traffic Stops (2008), all released on Bellevue Records. Singles from the albums have reached the top ten in the iTunes Singer Songwriter Charts in 15 countries, made the Radio 2 playlists, and have been included in episodes of The Big C and Private Practice as well as Hollywood movies, Fireflies in The Gardens and Soltice.

...Simon is the best drummer I've ever worked with, he's reliable, hard working, at the top of his game, and above all he's a lovely guy |
