I recently had the huge honour of being involved with the innaugral The UK Drum Show at Manchester Central Conference Centre back in late September.

What a superb weekend it was, with some stunning performances from many legendary drummers, including Dennis Chambers, Thomas Lang, John 'JR' Robinson, Simon Phillips, Craig Blundell, Michael Schack, George Kollias and Emmanuelle Caplette (to name just a few), and it was wonderful to see so many friends, some of who I hadn't seen for a number of years!

The show was exceptional with everyone having a great time, and the organisors, Gold Media and Events (run by my good freind Neil Golding and ably assisted by many of his family), did a great job of keeping everything running smoothly. A particular highlight for me however, came after the event when I was asked to record a soundtrack to accompany the highlight video made of the show by the ever wonderful Eckie...check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIsXCqx28Uk

Tickets for next years show are already on-sale, with artist suggestions and plans currently being discussed!! I've already got it in my diary: 29 & 30 September 2018!
