Drums & Vocals

Born in Swindon Wiltshire. Tony decided he would like to play the Drums when his school friends started playing Guitars. After receiving a drum kit for his 14th birthday, lessons were quick to follow. The first 2 years lessons were taken with drum teacher Peter Karpinski. From the age of 16 he began taking lessons with Paul Ashman. Tony has achieved Grade 8 practical & an ATCL Diploma in performance on Drums.

First Gig

Tonys first gig was with Swindon Rock School in a pub called the Atrium, which has since been renamed the Apartments. He had only played for 3 months and as you can imagine he thought he played truly awful. Tony also thought that there was a lot of dodgy time keeping and if that wasnt bad enough halfway through the song he had to get up and play the bongos! (Not his idea). Tony hopes that no one can recall that terrible night.
