[edit] Career
[edit] All About Eve
Price was recruited to All About Eve in 1987, during the ercording of their first album. He therefore appeared on the album cover even though the majority of the songs did not feature him - having benefited either from a drum machine or the Mission's Mick Brown. He did, however, become the mainstay drummer of the band, featuring on all the band's albums up to Ultraviolet. Even when Julianne Regan left the band in 1993, he briefly carried on with Marty Willson-Piper and Andy Cousin to create the one-off album Seeing Stars.
[edit] Mice
Price was the only other ex-All About Eve musician (apart from Regan) to be a full-time member of Mice. He played the drums on every track that features them on their one album ...Because I Can.
[edit] Del Amitri
After Mice disbanded in 1997, Price joined Del Amitri. He toured extensively with them and appears on the 2002 album Can You Do Me Good? and the Top 40 hit singles "Don't Come Home Too Soon" (1998), "Cry To Be Found" (1998) and "Just Before You Leave" (2002).
[edit] All About Eve reunion
Price played the drums for the All About Eve reunion tour in 1999, but he stayed with Del Amitri, and so All About Eve carried on without him touring acoustically.
[edit] Live Aid
Price's career also includes playing at the Live Aid concert in July 1985, as the drummer in Nik Kershaw's backing group.
