What a gent Simon is, we met in Night & Day Manchester ( yes it was raining ) for a chat about all things punk, drums and his book.

Funky Si as he's known to Jonny Marr covered stories about the early bands he played in, a few you might know.....The Smiths and a band which included Ian Brown and John Squire who went on to form a band called The Stone Roses. He's time in Manchesters cult band The Fall and his current band The G-O-D.

Loads more stories in his book - You Can Drum but You Can't Hide, in re-print but can be ordered here

Simon plays Ludwig, and hope to catch some video of him in action soon, but for now I've added some gig stills.
