Early career and Go West
Drummie began writing with longtime collaborator Peter Cox, with whom he eventually signed a publishing deal. For the next few years, Cox and Drummie tried to land a recording contract until, with the help of manager John Glover and producer Gary Stevenson, the duo finally recorded the songs which would become their first two singles.
After signing a deal with Chrysalis Records, their first single, "We Close Our Eyes", was a Top 5 hit in the UK Singles Chart. Other singles included "Call Me" and "Don't Look Down". The following year, Go West were named 'Best Newcomers' at the 1986 BRIT Awards.
In 1990, the group finally achieved US success with their single "The King of Wishful Thinking" which featured on the soundtrack of the film Pretty Woman. Subsequent releases from the band received several awards based on airplay in America.
Personal life
Drummie, who grew up in Skelmersdale and Ormskirk with his grandparents, has two children, a son and daughter.
In 1993, he and Cox moved to Los Angeles but Drummie returned to the UK in 1996.
