Drummer Adam Gammage Reflects on Musical Journey from Glastonbury to Northampton
Drummer Adam Gammage, who has enchanted audiences at Glastonbury among other prestigious stages, is now poised to share his drumming prowess in Northampton, his hometown. Gammage, a pivotal member of Tom Grennan’s band, reminisces on his journey from playing with musical icons like Rebecca Ferguson, Charlie XCX, and James Arthur to his current collaboration with Grennan.
Gammage’s musical odyssey began at the age of 14, and his talent swiftly saw him land his first professional gig at merely 16 years old. Reflecting on his formative years, he accredits his growth to jam sessions in Northampton, where his passion for drumming was nurtured.
In a remarkable turn of events, the drummer will be conducting drum clinics and engaging in a Q&A session in Northampton, alongside esteemed drummers Andy Edwards, known for his work with Robert Plant, and the Guinness World Record-holder Ed Freitas. Gammage expresses his awe at working alongside these revered figures, whose technical prowess left an indelible mark on his musical journey.
During the upcoming session, Gammage plans to treat the audience to live renditions of his favorite moments from the electrifying Glastonbury set he performed with Grennan last year. He vividly recalls the euphoric atmosphere during songs like ‘By Your Side,’ a collaboration between Grennan and DJ Calvin Harris, where the pulsating energy of the crowd underscored the magic of live performances.
As Gammage gears up to connect with his hometown once again, the allure of his experiences at Glastonbury and beyond serve as a testament to the transformative power of music and the unwavering spirit of a dedicated musician.
