It's kind

How did you get involved in Cloud
Castle Lake?
Through a
friend. They were looking for a new drummer and a mutual friend recommended me,
so I went in and we played through some stuff and it just kind of clicked. It's
been a great experience playing with them, and many of the other projects I'm
now involved in came about through connections I made through CCL. So I'm
forever thankful to the guys for having me on board.
What current plans do the
group have?
It's been
a pretty quiet year for us. We're all involved with other projects outside CCL
and were all pretty busy individually for the past year, so we didn't have much
time as we'd like to focus on the band. Once this lockdown ends though,
hopefully, we'll be back in the studio working on new music!
How are you spending your time
during this COVID-19 lockdown?
I've been
having a crack at learning Ableton, which I've been meaning to do for a long
time. Doing a lot of cooking, walking, listening to music. It's been a good
opportunity to get some practise done. I don't have a kit set up at home so
I've just been doing some much-needed hand technique practise
