Well, I played in various bands in the 70’s and shortly after, I started doing demos with BBC, they were called ‘BBC Radio Sessions’. I was featured in a lot of those and really, it was because I had a reputation for having a good work ethic – I showed up on time, I was reliable, and I always got the job done. I was probably one of the busiest session drummers in England by 1984. I got flown in for a number of jobs in London; those were great days of recording. Then, I got the call from Elton John. He said to his team, “I want this guy playing on my album.” That was in the Spring of ’85 when he invited me to play Live Aid with him. After that show, he said, “Let’s put this band on the road.” I signed a 2-year contract with him and the rest is history. I went from playing in studios to live shows, just like that. In the end, I ended up doing 10 world tours, 5 studio albums, and 2 live albums with Elton.
