I played drums for Issie Goffman ('issie') up to January 2025, alongside bassist Aaron Dallat, and other session musicians on guitars, keyboards and more.
Issie writes soul/jazz-infused pop songs, which we as a band, led by Issie, turn into more energetic arrangements faithful to her influences both 1960s and present day.
After previous work for hunidew's Bowen and Zoe on recording sessions and demo sessions, I was brought in from Summer 2024 as permenant session drummer for their band when they formed as hunidew alongside bassist Aaron Dallat.
From September 2022, I was the drummer with Rob Clewer and his band - rehearsing regularly at studios in Manchester and Salford. The music we played was a range of Rob's original songs, with various arrangements. Some songs were acoustic, or had brushes/rods, and some were heavier in style, comparable to traditional rock music.
On 19th November 2022, I played with Rob in a 5-piece band at The Snug, Atherton, supporting the acclaimed Liverpudlian songwriter Steve Pilgrim. We played a 40 minute set from 8pm.
In Summer 2023, myself, Rob and the band got together to put together a new set, preparing for headline gigs in the North of England. We have since renamed to Milhouse and become a full-fledged touring and recording band.
