News Update!
We would like to welcome new saxman Mark Allaway to the band. A full write up and photo comming soon with the new quintet photos in 2007.
The quintet is recording a new CD featuring compositions and arrangements by Paul Higgs and Ted Beament.
Some of you have noticed a new snare drum on my kit and asked what it is?, Well!, it is a 14”x5”1/2 Gary Noonan custom made for me snare drum (See Links!) and features a solid maple shell, vintage marine pearl covering, brass rims with clips and tube lugs all nickel plated and polished. It is also fitted with Remo Ambassador Drum Heads. “I am a little boy in a sweet shop with this drum!”
You can see pictures of my 1970 Buddy Rich Slingerland Kit & Noonan Snare Drum and my current Premier 75th Anniversary Kit on the drum gear page.
Hope to see you soon!
Best wishes
Graeme
