Marc began playing drums aged 12 after being given the choice by his mum, while out shopping in Glasgow’s Barrowlands Market, between a COOL (well, his idea of cool) pair of trainers or using the money as a deposit for a set of second hand drums. He made a good choice and hasn’t looked back since although he still doesn’t own any cool footwear! After receiving a full scholarship to study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston when he was 16, Marc went on to receive his BA (hons) Jazz Studies from Leeds College of Music in 2001.
