Drummer
UK based freelance drummer specialising in live performance, theatre, and recording.
Luke is a professional freelance drummer based in Suffolk, UK, whose work with creative artists, function bands, and theatre productions has taken him across the UK and Europe.
He graduated in 2016 with a BMus (Hons) in Professional Music Performance from the Academy of Contemporary Music. Since then, he has performed in a wide variety of musical settings, covering genres from Folk and Rock to Electronic and Jazz.
​
Luke is currently performing and recording with Millie Kirkpatrick, a UK singer-songwriter inspired by artists such as KT Tunstall and Taylor Swift, as well as with James Morgan, a modern Folk/Rock artist. He has also collaborated with original projects including electronic nu-gaze band Amethysts and indie pop outfit Me and the Moon.
​
Alongside his original work, Luke regularly performs with UK-based function bands StereoJack and Instant Vibe, and frequently deps for other professional function bands at short notice. He also brings extensive theatre pit experience, having performed for both in-house and touring productions, most recently with Enchanted Entertainment.
