This week I'm talking to drummer (and good mate!) Simon Merry about growing up with a musical father, learning the ropes, gigs, bands, gear, playing with George Michael with 24 hours notice, getting the gig with Rick Astley BEFORE his resurgence and going from playing Butlins to stadiums with him. There's also a first hand account of the now infamous Foo Fighters story in Japan, and much more!
