After spending over 30 years as co-founder, co-songwriter and drummer in the band Elbow, I left to explore my passion for teaching and mentoring musicians of all ages and abilities, researching the physical and mental benefits of drumming for both neuro-diverse and neuro-typical people of all ages, spend time with my family and re-connect with the drums. 

This journey is taking me from being in one of the UK's biggest and critically acclaimed bands, touring the world, winning BRIT's, Ivor Novello's and a Mercury Prize to running Workshops and Masterclasses at Universities, Colleges and schools nationwide, to 1-2-1 teaching and mentoring Sessions at my Drum Studio,  to continually expanding my formal teaching at Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA) and now Spirit Studios in Manchester.

This year I  gained my Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education: Theatre and Performing Arts through the Rose Bruford College and LIPA.

 

I am continually working on creative side projects, contributing to live, remote and studio session work, writing, recording and just enjoying playing.
