Bernard is a foundation member of Itchycoo Park.

TV repairman by day and a drummer by night. From playing "And Then I Kissed Her" by The Beach Boys on a Kerosene heater with my first band at aged 16 to playing "Tie Your Mother Down" by Queen on a Premier (English manufacturer of course) drumset at aged 59, life doesn't get much better than that.

After a 30 year break raising kids, mortgage etc the success of "Itchycoo Park" over the last 10 years has come as a pleasant surprise and I am looking forward to the next 10 years performing our favourite songs with a great bunch of people to the enthusiastic audiences who have become new friends. It makes the midweek practices in a dreary hall on a cold Winter's night all worthwhile.
