#FBW003: Andy Paresi
Andy Paresi is probably best known for drumming on Morrissey's first three albums - "Viva Hate", "Bona Drag" and "Kill Uncle". I chat to Andy about his early memories of drumming and demonstrates drum parts from some of Morrissey's most important songs on his kitchen table.
You can hear Andy talk more about his time as Morrissey's drummer in this helpfully titled radio programme - "I Was Morrissey's Drummer":
