Overdue update!

Is it March already?!? where has the time gone! can't believe my last post was in December just shows how busy i've been. If you look at my current schedule you will see what i mean. This last weekend i played 7 sets over one weekend where i played with the fantastic Ford T from Denmark along with my new band...

The Almaboobies


www.thealmaboobies.com

their awesome drummer Alex is following a new career now and being in a band of this level with there schedule is such a huge commitment. Which means i am now the full time drummer and so far i'm having a great time. The girls are awesome and the whole family is so supportive and have welcomed me with open arms. They are really professional and i am really happy to be as busy as i am and to be playing with such talented musicians.

I am also still playing for The Lizards which is great fun and i will be playing with them tomorrow night and next week then i have gigs every weekend with The Almaboobies until the end of July! The teaching is going from strength to strength and some of my students are beginning to show huge potential which is a great feeling.
Throw in rehearsals and practice and you see why i haven't updated the website!

In other news i have finally learned to drive. I never needed a car while living in Guildford but since I've moved back to Newark i definitely need to drive and I passed my test first time thanks to Howard's Way... http://www.howardswaydrivingschool.co.uk
I've got a nice big Renault Megane Scenic that fits my drums in lovely and it even has a little fridge that keeps energy drinks cool for when i'm driving home after a long rehearsal or gig!

I'm also quite amazed at the amount of youngsters getting into drums its really nice to see.

Anyway if you want to know what i'm up to i'm on twitter although i think it's only any good if you're famous! the bits i put on there will automatically link to my facebook, myspace and homepage on the website. Also for up to date gigs you will have to get them on my website because myspace has changed and it takes too long to put the dates on!

Cheers JJ
