Helter Skelter

Everyone who hears me sing and speaks about my voice has said that the difference between Helter Skelter and other cover bands is my voice. I have an extremely powerful voice at the top range, can imitate other singers (especially Bono and the bloke out of Free / Bad Company) and generally I put so much energy into my performance that the audience can’t help but get washed along in the torrent of quality rock music. I am a pretty competent guitarist, albeit in Rich’s substantial shadow.

Ever since hearing Iron Maiden on the radio as a four year old I knew music had a special magic to excite and get the adrenaline flowing (running around the living room like a child possesed)! Now many years on, having extensively toured the UK and Europe with previous bands, there is nothing I like better than picking up a guitar to perform on stage.

He’s the pure rocker amongst them. He doesn’t say much, but boy he can play bass. He injects huge amounts of energy into the performance and is a major part of Helter Skelter’s driving force.

I have been playing the drums since 1988. I have two claims to fame. My first drum teacher was the drummer in The Clash (Terry Chimes). One of my other drum teachers is a session musician Steve Washington who toured with the likes of Jason Dononvan, Take That and Texas (I can’t believe I just admitted that). I enjoy playing lots of different styles with funky stuff being my personal favourite. However there’s nothing like banging away on the drums to a quality rock tune, especially when the crowd is rocking with you.
