    Pronto! Bastardo…!

    The Nell’ Ora Blu tour has come to an end, after we played the final show at the iconic Palace Theater in LA a couple of nights ago.

    Atmospheric keys and emotive bursts of saxophone augmented the band’s colossal rhythm section and blistering guitar, polished to a brilliant shine but retaining the dangerous, subversive qualities that pervade their complete oeuvre…

    I want to say an enormous thank you to Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats for having me along for the ride. That’s been an absolute pleasure! I am really going to miss playing the show – which was so meticulously staged and crafted to shock and thrill audiences around the world – and of course I am going to miss the amazing musicians in the band and our incredible crew. That’s been an honour and privilege to work with you all over the last couple of months.

    Huge thanks to all the Uncle Acid fans who came out to watch a show. You have helped make this an unforgettable experience; that’s been a total blast from start to finish.

    With Kit Marsden and Rachel Burnett on keyboards, the sound was rich, draped in a distinct ‘70s film score aesthetic.

    …among the most impressive concerts I’ve witnessed since 1972: a whirlwind of musical, theatrical, and cinematic madness…

    The European leg of the Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats Nell’ Ora Blu tour is coming to a close, after we played our final show on the continent at the Vooruit Theaterzaal in Ghent, Belgium last night. Just one show in the UK to go now – at the iconic Alexandra Palace theatre in London – before we fly out to the United States and begin a run of thirteen American/Canadian dates across the first three weeks of February.

    There are concerts that impress, and then there are performances that create an entirely new world. […] Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats didn’t just perform Nell’ Ora Blu—they brought an entire audiovisual concept to life, one that stands unparalleled in the realm of live rock performances.

    Despite one or two hiccoughs – like getting stuck in Berlin for an extra day when our tour bus broke down, resulting in moving the Netherlands show at the Muziekgebouw in Eindhoven back by twenty-four hours – we have had an amazing time on the road so far. That’s been an absolute joy to bring the incredible and unique sound of Nell’ Ora Blu to some truly beautiful places around Europe, and to meet all the fans who have come out to see the show so far.

    Remote Recording Sessions For Alex Carter

    I’ve had the privilege of recording both drums and organs on a new single from blues singer/songwriter Alex Carter in my studio this weekend.

    With a super cool, groovy blues vibe, I have really enjoyed getting stuck into this session and getting the tone and feel of the song just right – both in my playing and in the choice of cymbals and studio techniques. Plus the session was also another great opportunity to run organs through my vintage Sharma 2000 rotary cab, which is always very exciting!

    Keep an eye out for the finished single being released soon. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!

    Very excited to reveal new promotional material for 90s Jam for 2022, showcasing four of the smash hit 90s dance tunes from our exciting and energetic 90s experience show. We can’t wait to get back out on the road again in 2022, and we are already looking forward to a great year of gigs all over the UK!


    We had an absolute blast making our new promo video at Heat nightclub in Sleaford with the guys from PX Productions, and I am so happy with how all the footage and and photos turned out from the day’s shooting.

    See you all on a dancefloor somewhere soon!

    Some wonderful photos by Jae Storer from last week’s chilled-out restaurant set at The Mesken Hutton, accompanying Jade MayJean.

    I loved working in this lovely, atmospheric venue, playing stripped-back covers and jazz standards alongside such a brilliant singer as Jade.

    You may have noticed that the Studio page of this site has been down for the last couple of months – with just a placeholder image teaser and no information… I was hoping to have everything completed before now. But things get in the way! However, the last few months have seen some pretty radical changes in my little studio space, and I am so happy with how it’s all coming together that I am very excited to reveal the new look to you all.

    My workspace has expanded, and now fills a little alcove one side of the chimney breast. I have a wonderful new desk to sit and work at; this desk was custom-built for recording studios by my friend and colleague (another Ultra ’90s drummer!) Curtis Aaron, with built-in racking for studio rack gear and a large surface area to work on. The addition of an external GPU has allowed me to move to a three screen setup when working at the computer, giving me extra flexibility for working on studio projects. And the mix position has been treated with acoustic sound absorbers and bass trapping (also made by Curtis) to help me to get the best-sounding mixes possible.

    Barely seems like a week ago that we were playing Ultra ’90s at the iconic Boston Gliderdrome… In fact, it was late February – and it’s now the start of April! Where does the time go?

    Still, what an absolutely fantastic gig to look back on now! To play at a venue with so much history – and such an incredible atmosphere – is definitely something which stays with you.

    As ever, huge thanks to everyone who came out to the show, and to our brilliant photographers who captured the totally electric feeling of the night wonderfully. So here is a selection of some of my favourite images from the Gliderdrome.
