Zildjian make amazing cymbals and for the money this is a great find

Ooooops whilst making the Zildjian video it took me ages to get the first bit right

Squeeze are back in the studio working on a new album set for release later this year prior to our U.K. and U.S. tour later this year. Watch this space for video blogs and news

I spent a wonderful couple of weeks running aroundSpain with my old friends and bandmates the Quireboys. Filling in for Dave it was great to catch up with old friends and have a billion laughs

After 22 brilliant years I still only use Zildjian Cymbals. For me there is no other choice

Here are some videos from my days in Death In Vegas

Here is some of the art work from albums I have performed on

Squeeze were honoured to perform on the Pyramid Stage last year at Glastonbury

I have a small shop where from time to time I sell framed set lists and sticks and signed drum skins
