Percussion Discussion - Episode 101 - Steve Grantley
Joining me today is british drummer Steve Grantley. Steve has an enviable CV with names including Julian Lennon, The Alarm, Eight Wonder, Billy Duffy, Glen Matlock, Jake Burns and the Big Wheel, RT-ZED, but for the last 25 years he has been the driving force for Northern Irish Punk Rockers Stiff Little Fingers.
Join Steve and myself as we chat about his amazing career from his teenage years depping on high profile , big band gigs for his teacher and then making the gigs his own, through to being a hairs breadth away from being the new drummer in The Clash after Terry Chimes departure at the tender age of 21! Steve Explains how he picked himself up again after the final audition didnt go his way and how he auditioned succesfully for Jake Burns and the Big Wheel, eventually joining the reformed Still Little Fingers.
25 years later and Steve is still occupying and thoroughly enjoying the SLF drum stool but also is heavily involved in his other project RT-ZED, their latest album having been released the day before this interview!
This was a fascinating conversation and it goes to prove if you want something badly enough you can get it!
Thank to Steve for giving up his time so freely, also many thanks to our mutual friend Adam Parsons for connceting us up!
