A couple of drum cover videos
I’ve uploaded a couple of drum covers by yours truly to Youtube.
SIR DUKE – Stevie Wonder
HIGHWAY STAR – Deep Purple
These are the first drum covers i’ve recorded since upgrading my video recording equipment, so there were a couple of teething problems, mainly lighting and also I underestimated how wobbly the floor was in my studio!
More drum covers to follow
Instructional videos on Youtube.
I will be expanding my tuition services to include video tutuorials on Youtube for electric guitar and drums! The videos will mainly be for exam pieces, with a playthrough and then some helpful tips for the piece. The first of many has just been uploaded, a popular choice for Grade 3 guitar, Old Bones Blues, from the 2012 to 2018 Rock School book.
I am open to suggestions for videos that may help with your tuition!
Guitar covers uploaded
I’ve just uploaded a couple more guitar covers to Youtube. It’s been a while since i’ve offered any, but plan to record more frequently in future!

The G&T’s formed as a result of the jam night at the Brewer’s Pride, which unfortunately no longer runs.
Here’s one originally by Prince,

Brewers Pride charity event for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance
Last Sunday, 31st July, I took part at the Brewer’s Pride charity event in Ossett, held in support of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
I was very happy when the event organiser invited me to put a group together consisting of people who I teach. We called ourselves the Box Of Toys. This was the first time i’ve had the opportunity to do this in nearly a decade and a half of teaching, so to mark the occassion filmed the whole set, which I have included below. Many thanks to Tim, Colin and Jacob who took part, and all played a blinder!
I also performed drums with Padded Cell at the same event, which i’ve also included
