Mark is the Drummer

Mark Morris has been playing drums as long as any of us can remember, playing the drums is Marks life. Mark not only keeps time for us whilst playing he is also the guy who makes sure we all start and finish band practices on time, I know it is above and beyond but keeping things in time really is Marks thing.

He has been in countless bands (still waiting for a list) and first met Andy way back in 1994 when he joined the Rock band which at that time was called 100% Proof and played songs from Guns N Roses through to Bon Jovi. In 2000 Mark met Robin and was invited to join a band that at that time was called 'The Bandits' as the Bandits did not have a Bass player they invited Andy to join to. The Bandits which had formally been a duo changed name to reflect it now being a four piece and that was the start of Face to Face.

Face to Face did a wide range of current pop and Indie songs as well as some old classics, some of which the Lock Down band also do. At some unknown date (I think in 2003) Face to Face broke up and Andy and Mark (other than the very occasional phone call) lost touch for years. Then in July of 2007 Mark called Andy and once again asked if he would like to be part of a new band that was being formed, that new band is what later became called Lock Down. Mark had played in other bands with Guitarist Steve and was instrumental in getting the current line up of Lock Down together.

Mark has two drum kits one is a dinky little blue kit and the other is a Rock kit which is Black looks very imposing takes ages to set up and take down and is made by Pearl.
