Early Years & Career Beginnings
Husband trained as a classical pianist with Dame Fanny Waterman DBE and Bryan Layton. His distinct piano style has been noted to reveal Jazz fusion and Classical music influences. As one of the world's highly respected drummers, he is essentially self taught, though he picked up casual lessons with various professional players at a young age and later spent a lengthier term with drum teacher Geoff Myers. Having been a professional player on both instruments since the age of thirteen he joined The Syd Lawrence Orchestra at sixteen as their full-time drummer. In addition to this he picked up session or touring work with artists or acts such as Lulu, The Bachelors among many others. Husband also frequently played in his home town with visiting jazz soloists from London in pubs and music venues. Upon a move to London at the age of eighteen, Husband held either the piano or drums chair in groups such as Mike Carr Trio, Barbara Thompson's Paraphernalia, Gary Boyle Trio, the Morrissey - Mullen Band, Jeff Clyne's Turning Point (UK band), occasionally recording with the BBC Big Band and frequently picking up freelance work performing at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club.
