| Playing professionally for over ten years has brought many
rich, exciting and unusual experiences.
Starting in dance and theatre bands, Russell decided to take a different path working with artists that were serious about record deals. Working with many bands including:
Having built up professional experince he was asked to join Midge Ure on the "Breathe" tour in 1997. This entailed playing stadiums, numerous television shows around Europe and playing those famous drum hits on "Vienna". This tour was a great success and he has continued to join Midge on many other tours and shows. Russell was also asked to work with Barbara Dickson. This required a lighter touch and was a welcome change of direction. The rehearsals went very well and after a successful tour he continues to join her on live sessions and more shows. Russell continues to work with Steadman, now based in Los Angeles, contributing percussion and drum parts over the internet. He also recently joined Brit Award winner Blair Mackichan for many live shows. |
