| When he's not drumming with Madness, he is the director of a semi- proffesional theatre company. He left his other band, Voice of the Beehive, when they unfairly called into question his commitment in light of the Madness renaissance. A slight man with unlimited energy and interests, he spends much of his leisure time bowling and gardening. A gentle and self-effacing individual, he claims to have great difficulty in putting pen to paper on anything other than greeting cards. He notes Madstock as one of the pinnacles of his career. What with the police escorting the band's limousines to Finsbury Park, he says it was like all of his dreams come true, almost as if Jim had fixed it for him. |
