I play African drums and percussion with various groups including Bedford Djembe Group, Vitae Drummers and Secret Bass, and previously Africa Junction. I also accompany singer-songwriter Ruth Ford with percussion and Tibetan Singing Bowls (seen above).

Solo performances are also possible, on percussion, turntables or electronics. My eclectic record collection and creative DJ mixing skills can provide a unique radio show for your station.
More performing pictures will soon be available in the Gallery...
If you are looking for something special for your event, or want to liven up a party with something completely different, why not get everyone behind a drum? Or maybe you need a percussionist for your own musical project? Feel free to get in touch to discuss your needs.
