Former Guns N' Roses Drummer Frank Ferrer Joins New UK Rock Band: Debut Performance in Southampton
Renowned former Guns N' Roses drummer Frank Ferrer has recently joined a new rock band based in the UK, making his debut with them at a live performance in Southampton. The band, yet to be named, consists of five members, with Hampshire guitarist Brett Smith-Daniels being the driving force behind Ferrer's involvement. The collaboration came about after a conversation between Smith-Daniels and Matt Sorum, Ferrer's predecessor in Guns N' Roses, who suggested reaching out to Ferrer. Excited about the opportunity, Ferrer expressed his eagerness to play with different musicians in the UK, highlighting the intimate and lively atmosphere of smaller venues compared to arena shows. The debut gig at The Brook in Southampton was well-received, with venue promoter Paul Williams optimistic about the impact of such performances on the local music scene. The band, also featuring Russell Marsden, Chris Payn, and Stefan Bielik, has upcoming shows scheduled in Cambridge and London.
