Episode 109 - Smiley

We talk to Smiley - Drummer for The Alarm and Archive. Smiley shares his incredible journey as a touring and recording musician right from his early days first sitting behind the drum kit at school, advice from entertainment legend Roy Castle and eventually getting his break with Manchester band The Mock Turtles. This opportunity would set him on a path that would eventually see him performing with the likes of Robbie Williams, Joe Strummer and Bad Company to name but a few and wait.... even Jimi Hendrix too?!
