Rainbow Bridge Drummer-Toads Gear and Biog Page

In the 60’s he regularly played with David Essex before becoming, for many years, the powerhouse behind the East London’s infamous rock band “Assyd”.

After the band’s acrimonious split, he went on to front “Bender” as lead vocalist.

Moving to Harlow, he joined “Vambo” as drummer and vocalist and also worked close to Dave Gilmour.

Being forced to leave the music scene due to national and international work commitments, he finally returned with a vengeance when he joined “Rainbow Bridge”

As one of the few drummers that can simultaneously take lead vocals, he is known for his distinctive drumming style and powerful rock/blues voice.
