Special – Steve “Smiley” Barnard, Rob’s First Live Drummer

“Smiley” Joined Us In The Robbie Williams Rewind Studio!

We’re very excited to be joined by Robbie’s first live drummer, Steve ‘Smiley’ Barnard, who was part of Rob’s band from 1997-1998 including during Rob’s first solo tour.  (Scroll down for links to listen)

Smiley describes what it was like to work closely with Robbie during the Life Thru A Lens era and how they spent hours playing backgammon to help Rob’s sobriety. It’s even down to Smiley, that Rob’s band has its current lineup. 

Smiley tells us all about the fun and unforgettable moments he experienced during the inception of Robbie’s incredible solo career. You definitely don’t want to miss this!
