Steve White

This week we’re joined by one of Britain’s most respected drummers, Steve White, who was born a stone’s throw from the studio at Guy’s Hospital. Steve tells us about getting his first paid gig at 14 while signing up to the Musicians’ Union, joining the style council and the Live Aid stage. His three book picks are Peter Ackroyd’s London: The Biography, The Torment of Buddy Rich by John Minahan, and Bruce Lee’s Tao of Jeet Kune Do. Along the way he shares stories about bumping into David Bowie at Live Aid, filling in on drums for Oasis on tour in America, and auditioning players for George Michael. 📸 Instagram: @ / uponatimepod 🎵 TikTok: @ / uponatimepod ▶️ YouTube: @ / @uponatimepod 🌐 uponatimepod.com Hosted on Acast.
