Tony started his fascination with drums at a very early age in the mid to late sixties, largely due to the fact that his mother was a Beatles fan and would constantly play their records.
Tony quickly formed his first band with some school friends and played a handful of gigs at youth centres and school halls.

During the eighties, Tony’s love of playing also found him helping out other bands short of drummers, due to a serious amount of talent and the extreme ease with which he works with other musicians. Tony has recorded for a variety of well known artists.

Tony was introduced to Max Hunt, who several years later was to give Tony the call with an invitation to join TANTALUS. Tony temporarily left Tantalus, at least as a full time member in April 2004 after performing a reliable, steady and solid roll in the band throughout the most stable period in the band’s existence but rejoined again less than a year later. Tony has a wide taste in music including The Beatles, Deep Purple – Ian Paice, Black Sabbath, Genesis, Sting and Elvis Presley. Tony is “Elvis In Troubles” drummer after recently being auditioned and showing the showmanship, cheekiness and ability to provide the right feel for the different era’s that the band covers as well as fitting in with the team.
