    played on 89 top 20 albums, 53 number ones, he has produced Debbie Harry, and
    played with the likes of Stevie Nicks, Tina Turner and Rod Stewart. Geoff Dugmore

  • Ellie East: Touring with Dave Stewart, counter-acting control, and the importance of taking a break
    Jan 19 2026

    Send us a text

    Ellie East has been Dave Stewart’s drummer of choice for the last 2 years, and her bouncy energy and positive vibes make it easy to see why she is consistently booked for tours and session work. Ellie tells us how her new outlook on finding interests outside of music and the need to take a break from work are helping her to feel calm, and how she has accepted that some parts of the music industry are simply beyond her control.
