I started drumming around 1959 and used to lived in Surrey. I played all around the London area for about eight years from the late 60s to the 70s in a wide variety of venues and music styles including rock and roll, small band jazz, blues and country. Included in this time was about four years playing in a very successful rock 'n' roll band to packed venues in south east London. I gave up playing in 1982 when I moved to the Midlands area to live. In 2011 my son rekindled my desire to play drums and took me by complete surprise by giving me a Yamaha drum kit for Christmas! Since then I have been playing in covers and jazz bands around the Warwickshire and West Midlands area but decided recently that I would go back to my rock and roll roots and form a band playing 50s and 60s rock 'n' roll. Hence the ROCK THE JOINT band – the band that has evolved from my decision to do just that!
