Fumble - Band members - Barry Pike
-
(drums)
Barry Pike moved to Cambridge with his parents when he was 7. There he attended Cherry Hinton Primary
School which eventually fell down through being too close to a railway
line. From Netherhall Secondary he went to Cambridge Technical College.
Barry's older brother Jeff was at university and playing guitar in
an R & B band, so Barry turned to drums, taught himself to play
at the age of 14 by listening to borrowed records of Buddy Rica and
Gene Krupa and the like, and bought his first kit at fifteen.
He worked with Sean through a couple of groups, "The Soulbenders"
being the last before they both joined Des and Mario and formed
The Baloons.
