See Fergus on Sunday at 13:25 on the Main Stage Mini
Hi, I’m Fergus. I’m a drummer based in Durham, UK. I’ve been playing since I was 10, and ever since I’ve been working hard to turn my passion for music into a career.
I’ve passed my Grade 8 with distinction and I’m currently working towards my diploma. In 2024, I placed Top 40 in Mike Dolbear’s Young Drummer of the Year Competition.
I’m influenced by a variety of styles such as rock, jazz, funk, Latin, and DnB and have had the privilege of meeting drumming legends like Benny Greb, Femi Koleoso, Greg Bissonette and Bernard Purdie.
For the past two years, I’ve been performing and playing shows frequently. Currently, I play with indie-punk band Jam Tub. Since we formed in 2023, we’ve played 2000-cap venues, festivals, and released a catalogue of music now streaming everywhere.
In addition to playing live, I regularly post videos of my playing on social media. Some of my live and home session videos have even been shared by Fontaines D.C. and Royal Blood.
Catch me on the Main Stage Mini at this year’s UK Drum Show!
