Ok, I think we might just have the line-up we need to really get to work. A few weeks back Lindsay was doing business with a chap in his photographic studio and discovered he was an experienced - and more importantly, free - drummer. After a jam with him, I'm pleased to say we've added Nik Sweeney to our lineup. I'm sorry to have to let Mark go, we all love his drumming and he's a lovely guy, but without more of a time commitment from him, Circus Animals just wasn't going to get anywhere. He was very gracious and understanding when I told him, which was what we all expected. We hope to jam with him in future and expect he'll sit in on some tunes with us when we get gigging around town. Best of luck with your other projects mate.
So, onward! Nik hasn't played a lot of blues, but is a versatile and intelligent drummer. He's already picked up the subtleties of the less-is-more style of blues drumming, and his enthusiasm is pretty uplifting too. He's also a graphic designer. Along with Lindsay's photographic business, I'm expecting the band to start presenting some visual images as sharp as our sound!
