What are your major goals for the future?

Carry on with my music and live life to the full, by keeping fit (dancing) and staying young!
Touring South Africa on my 1300cc Yamaha Cruiser motorcycle.
Always wanted to go to Daytona week motorcycle races in Florida USA.

What words of wisdom will you pass on to future generations?

Always be thankful for what and who you have and when bad things happen in your life, think of how worse it could have been - and you'll feel a bit more positive.

What event changed your life?

My elder brother gave me a set of drum sticks (from KHS cadet band!) when I was 8 years old and showed me how to hold them. That got me hooked on music forever - that and Elvis Presley.
