Terl Bryant

Originally from Northamptonshire, Terl started drumming aged 8, a passion which he largely contributes to his late father.

He writes, “Music was huge for my Dad and I have many great memories of the ways in which he inspired me. One time, we pulled up in the car outside school with the music on loud and then, on the track, there was this beautiful drum fill. I remember the immense pleasure on his face as he rewound the tape several times whilst we both mimicked the drumming with imaginary drumsticks, grinning from ear to ear. Moments like that change everything. Incidentally, the drummer was Hughie Flint, on the 1971 McGuinness Flint track ‘When I’m Alone With You’.”

By 12, Terl sensed his destiny and at 16 he left school to join a band. Now, with a career spanning more than four decades, he is thrilled to be joining the Martin Barre Band.

Terl’s touring, band and recording credits include work with John Paul Jones, Peter Murphy, Barbara Dickson, Faith Hill, Elizabeth McGovern, Arthur Brown, Iona, Peter Gabriel, Maddy Prior, Steve Taylor, Steeleye Span, Louise, Graham Kendrick, Lulu, Adrian Edmondson, Paul Jones and many others. Terl also does sessions from his studio based in Sussex, UK and has written music for the BBC, Netflix, Channel 4, Discovery, National Geographic and has a great many recordings released under his own name.

Terl is married to Jules and they have 6 children.
