    An Evening with Steve White

    An evening with Steve White interview recorded live at The Hive Rooms, Surrey, UK 4th December 2025 This was our first event which included performances and education from Steve White, a UK Living Legend! Steve has been playing drums since an early age and has played with The Style Council, Paul Weller, Ocean Colour Scene, Oasis, The Who, Dr John, James Taylor Quartet and many more.. Drummer, Educator, and Presenter of the Sky Arts Hit series "The Art of Drumming". Steve has been inspired by and worked with Drummers such as Peter Erskine, Louie Bellson, Ginger Baker and Chad Smith. In this interview we talk about when and where it all started, how he joined the Boys Brigade to play Snare Drum, how after joining the Musicians Union 75 pence and being taken to gigs at a young age by his dad he met Paul Weller and played on Radio One to 14 million listeners... We have some live questions from the audience and the beep machine gets some use... This episode doesn't have any performances included from the night but we are working on that for another day.
