You Need Another Drummer…

Gaz Hughes, Axis Theatre, Alsager, 2008

… Like you need a hole in the head.

I’ve always been drawn to talented people, particularly musicians. Apart from their inherent entertainment value, I’m sure they live out my long-since abandoned dream of being a muso.

They can be intimidating though. I went to see my friend Adam at a recording of his Jazz recital and the trio of musicians playing were all intergalactically good. They were, to use a much-overused word correctly, awesome.

Gaz was the drummer and honestly, there wasn’t any part of the kit he didn’t use to make some sort of noise. Legs, screws, stands, everything. Pretty impressive, really.
