Liam Bolton

Ian Grant says; '"Liam Bolton is the same age as my grandson, Josh (who designed the cover of Think Loud album) . They were born a few days apart. I didn't know until last year, maybe the year before that Liam wanted to learn drumming and what a great start he had. Charlie Watts gave him a kit.I have stayed in touch with Bill and his wife not so much in person but via social media and when The Rolling Stones are on tour. I said to Bill, I would do what I could to help Liam. So I thought I'd send a video of Liam rehearsing to Rick Buckler (formerly of The Jam) and he wrote encouraging emails to Liam. I wanted to arrange for them to meet but sadly Rick passed a few months ago but, this one of the emails

"Hi Ian,
Love Liam's shades. Very good, two things I noticed, Liam could practice locking in on his own internal clock (especially during to stops) and I opened the HiHat briefly on the snare beats to add a fizz to the snare sound. Always more interesting to practice playing along to favorite tracks, keep up the good work. Hope this helps.

All the best -Rick Buckler"

Meanwhile, Liam has been having lessons with Steve Jordan no less and has also played with Rolling Stones bass player Darryl Jones,s their keyboardist and two of their backing singers. So, when the call was made for drummers to appear in 'Let There Be Drums', I just had to tell Nigel Dick the director, about him. So, Liam had such another great boost, he appears in the videp just mentioned with some the most renowned drummers on this planet."
