Eric Green - The Groovemeister!

Biography

After seeing the film 'The Young Ones' at age 8, and being mesmerized by The Shadow's drummer Tony Meehan, Eric immediately decided "that's what I want to do!".

He persuaded his parents to buy him a snare drum and cymbal from his auntie's catalogue. He had soon formed his first skiffle and R&B bands and was performing regularly at weddings, parties and  local community centres.

At age 20, Eric aquired his first professional, standard kit (Hayman 'Big Sound') and secured a regular job as resident drummer in a local club.

He went on to play in numerous local bands which led to stints with PJ Proby, Dave Berry, Marmalade and The Walker Brothers. In the mid-seventies Eric joined folk-rockers Jack The Lad after which he filled the drum chair with the legendary Armageddon.

The late nineties saw Eric forming The Annie Orwin Band, with whom he continues to record and tour today.
