Adrian has played as first-choice deputy drummer for our function and wedding band, Junction 31, on several occasions.   
He is a very high standard and adaptable musician able to play many styles of music.  He has the ability to learn sets in a very short timescale and without the need to rehearse the songs prior to playing them live.  He uses excellent  and professional quality musical instruments. 
 Adrian has been punctual for all the performances he has played with us and has conducted himself in a manner appropriate with being a professional musician.
We would have no hesitation in recommending him to any band requiring a top-class drummer.

As a drummer and band member I have worked with many great acts and musicians over the years and spent 4 years in a northern multi-award winning club act. Up until recently I was drummer in Hull Daily Mail's Talent Trail finals backing band for 8 consecutive years and worked for many years in the best of the Hull area's working men's clubs. It was whilst working a residency at one of these clubs I was pleasantly surprised by the drumming talent of Adrian who I felt was a mature and confidently positive player for his then young age. Adrian went on to deputise for me on several occasions and has been the 'engine room' of many a fine band since. He is passionate about any music he is involved with and is a great asset to any line-up of the finest players.

I first met Adrian Treacher in 1996 when he successfully auditioned for my 70s showband SHANG-A-LANG,we doubled as a Roy Orbison Tribute Show backing group playing theatres and he learned both sets to a high standard.We worked together numerous times over the years and played together in versions of hit band UNIT 4+2 and the BAY CITY ROLLERS and John Rossall ex-Glitter band.Adrian also played in the studio on my song SUNDAY that is currently available on Satellite Records sung by Abbie Lammas and he played very well on the session.

When asked if I would write a reference for Mr Ade Treacher I said Yes and without hesitation. I have known Mr Treacher for a number of years primarily as a Drummer but even more so now as a great friend and studio percussionist. While working as a professional drummer some years ago I suffered a fall which for several months stopped my career point blank, I had several projects to complete and very little time to finish them. I met Mr Treacher through a friend who recommended him for possibly playing the parts I needed to complete. I arrived late at my studio, my engineer at the time stood outside and said I had to listen to this guy, we stood for 20 Mins just in awe of what we heard. Unbelievable timing, fantastic light and shade, absolutely faultless playing and unknown to me at the time he had learnt overnight all the parts I had to record. We got the Job done in hours rather than days. I find Mr Treacher very creative and a Joy to listen too, he is positive, understanding and one of the best listeners I have ever worked with. Over the last few years we have worked together on a number of projects and some that were very last minute, I find him punctual, honest and very reliable and I think that's why I had no hesitation in writing this reference. I also know through private lessons I have had even though I was a professional myself how much you can learn from him, little changes that he suggested have made me a much better musician. And as mentioned previously I have NO hesitation in recommending Mr Treacher, as far as I am concerned he is a joy to work with, a joy to listen too and an absolute great friend.

We have had the pleasure of working with Adrian Treacher on several occasions.  We hired him to play with our band as a substitute drummer when our regular drummer was not able to make a few gigs.  Adrian always shows up early with all of his own gear.  We usually send him a possible set-list before the gig and he arrives prepared although is also able to follow the rest of the band in playing songs he's never heard before.  He is a very talented drummer and is really, just a lovely, easy-going man to work with.  We would highly recommend Adrian Treacher to anyone needing a drummer that is flexible, focused and fun.

Ade is one of the most honest, down to earth and reliable drummers I've had the pleasure of working with. He's great at learning tunes, and is perfectly comfortable depping at the last minute. I would thoroughly recommend Ade to anyone looking for a top professional drummer.

 

Chris Johnston - Professional Musician

 

Ade is a talented drummer who was the drive that made a last minute band sound like a professional regular outfit with no rehearsal and was a pleasure to play with. He can turn his talents to any drum style and outs full passion and expertise into what ever he turns his hand to.
