I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate Josiah on achieving Distinction for his Diploma in Music Performance on Drum Kit. Since 2019, together we have seen a few Grades come and go, including Grade 8 - all graded at Distinction. We’ve worked pretty hard together over the years, but this took some real pushing to get over the line in time. It was absolutely worth all the effort though - what an achievement. I just can’t stop smiling. I am so proud of this young man and of our achievements together. Well done Josiah. #TrinityCollegeLondon #drumteacherbanbury #proudteacher
This year I’ll be performing with a brand new project: The Jeff Beck Experience - a tribute to the legend himself. We’ll be playing shows throughout the UK - check the website for details. Here’s a little clip from rehearsal, Jeff’s cover of the Shangri-Las’ track ‘Walking in the Sand’. #drumlife @pearl_drums @sabiancymbals_official @remopercussion heads @vicfirth @shure IEMs @hardcase_drum_cases @jeffbeckexperience #jeffbeckexperience #danguest #jeffbeck
I’ve recently been working with King Dodo and having a thoroughly nice time of it too. The most recent EP is entitled ‘Babble’ - here’s a sample of the final track, “Waltzing Disaster”, this particular section representing a chaotic loss of control. @kingdodo7 #kingdodo #babble #waltzingdisaster #drumlife @pearl_drums @sabiancymbals_official @remopercussion skins @vicfirth @shure IEMs @hardcase_drum_cases #danguest
Soundcheck Jam! A little clip from the weekend at The Met in Bury, with Dave Corsie on Bass. What else can you do whilst awaiting the Guitarist’s arrival? 🤷🏻♂️ #drumlife @pearl_drums @sabiancymbals_official @remopercussion skins @vicfirth @shure IEMs @hardcase_drum_cases @cymatic_audio_official #danguest @davecorsiebassplayer @metbury
Was a pleasure to celebrate Bowie’s music again last night with Jean Genie at The Met, Bury. 10 years gone. RIP DB. #drumlife @pearl_drums @sabiancymbals_official @remopercussion skins @vicfirth @shure IEMs @hardcase_drum_cases @cymatic_audio_official #danguest #jeangenie #themetbury
Been playing Christmas songs with all of my students this week and I had five mins free so…. 🤷🏻♂️
Had a wee gig last night with Shania Twain Tribute @shaniauptonowtribute Loads of fun, with some really lovely people and a hearty crowd. Sadly no footage as it was too swift a changeover with plenty of gremlins taboot. Big thanks to Dave Corsie on Bass for sorting it out. Until next time… #drumlife @pearl_drums @sabiancymbals_official @evansdrumheads @vicfirth @shure IEMs @hardcase_drum_cases @cymatic_audio_official #danguest
Last weekend‘s BIG FAKE FESTIVAL in Walesby Forest.

Just back from a lovely time at Butlin‘s Miinehead with Jean Genie. They really are a fantastic crew there and do things how they should be done! 👍🏻 Here‘s some Golden Years featuring the one they call Dave Corsie. Oh and also fixed the wife‘s car. Good day. Off to bed. Goodnight. #drumlife @pearl_drums @sabiancymbals_official @remopercussion skins @vicfirth @shure IEMs @hardcase_drum_cases @cymatic_audio_official #danguest #jeangenie #butlinsminehead
I do enjoy a Soundcheck. #drumlife @pearl_drums @sabiancymbals_official @remopercussion heads @vicfirth @hardcase_drum_cases #danguest @fakefestivals #fakefestivals #reallyhotchilipeppers @reallyhotchilipeppers
It‘s been a really lovely day catching up with all sorts of old faces that I’ve not seen for a long, long time. It’s such a shame it‘s taken such a sad event to bring us all back together again. I think Bear would have loved it. He was the only one missing!
Fair well old friend. Miss you. Xx
Quick bit of Dark Necessities from last weekend’s Glastonbarry gig. Great fun! #drumlife @pearl_drums @sabiancymbals_official @remopercussion heads @vicfirth @hardcase_drum_cases #danguest #reallyhotchilipeppers @reallyhotchilipeppers #glastonbarry @glastonbarryfest
