tevie hanks is the man that makes your toes tap and your hands clap (Phil Lynott 1977). A savage beater of the drums Shanksy says "Every time the drums come out of their case someone's gotta die!" When he's not beating the crap out of his drums he's always running around organising stuff or meeting people (we think he knows all our audiences by name!!).

tevie was previously the drummer with his own very successful band Ashanti but was nicked for his powerhouse drumming style and on-stage charisma. His emulation of Roger Taylor's drumming style comes from years and years of being an avid Queen fan.

A keen golfer, there is nothing Stevie likes to do better than to get his balls out and give them a good whacking followed by a swift Jumanji (a wierd whiskey and ginger thing invented by him and Trixie - Harry's dad). And when he's not drumming, golfing or drinking Jumanji he's out zipping around on his Harley Davidson.
