Mikey seems to have been drumming for ever. He has been in bands with
both Rick, Jeremy and Chris prior to joining Maddison. His attention
to detail is a major quality along with his ability to have a Roland
R8 'rimshot' played down one ear for an hour and a half at a horrendous
volume and still have the ability to keep his sanity, and indeed balance,
after performing. After a brief flirtation with technology in the shape
of a Simmonds SDS9 'brain' and 'pads' Mikey is firmly back in the land
of real drums played with great big fat sticks. Unfortunately his current
set up doesn't have the ability to generate the correct sounds for us
to cover the disco classic by Kelly Marie, 'It
feels like I'm in love' (13/09/1980 2 weeks at #1 - 16 weeks on
chart) as the SDS9 did. Oh well. Another song slips from our repertoire!
Influences include chicken
tikka with vindaloo sauce, turbo
shandy and Huey Lewis
and the News.
