| REFERENCES “I met jj because my drummer had an engagement...so we had no time for a long rehearsal... I sent some mp3s for him to listen to,then the gig came about and I met JJ...he was great easy going and extremely pro on stage delivering a rock steady back beat to some tunes he wasn't even familiar with. The audience lapped it up as if we had rehearsed and played the set many times. That was how good JJs drumming was. A great guy,punctual,pro and is very good to work with both on stage and off. Over the years I've played with many people including the great Albert Lee on guitar and found JJ to be a great drummer with a great own style and flair and very quick at adapting to any music and situation”. ________________ “Shawn Harvey and] the B57’s came all the way from Germany to play at Old Nicks Tavern on Saturday, a rock and roll band to the core. Due to a prior engagement the drummer could not play this date so John Joe Gaskin came to recue and learnt about 30 songs with 2 weeks notice so the show could go on. Never having met the band, John Joe performed as though they had been gigging together for years, if no one said anything, you would have never have known”. ________________ John Joe Gaskin is a serious drummer who puts on a real show when performing live.
