Mick - Drums
Started playing the drum (singular initially) at school aged 12.
Discovered hitting the drums as hard as possible was the way forward and moved on from the school wind band to rock'n'roll. I've had the honour of playing with Fever Pitch, One Under, Sometime Eye, Hollow, Arch Stanton, Ed Box & Vendetta, Tampered Monkey, Andy Cable/The Rain King and 300ft Gorilla.
