Neil Primrose
- Neil Primrose may also refer to Neil James Archibald Primrose (1882-1917)
Neil Primrose (born 20 February 1972, in Cumbernauld, Glasgow, Scotland) is the drummer of Glaswegian rock quartet, Travis.
Career
Unlike the other three members of the band, he was not a student at the Glasgow School of Art. When the band was formed, he was working in Glasgow's Horseshoe Bar, where the band played frequently as "Glass Onion".
Before the recording of Travis' fourth album, 12 Memories, Primrose suffered a life-threatening spine injury while he was swimming on holiday in France. This led to the cancellation of several subsequent tour dates - most significantly a headline slot of the V Festival that year. Primrose made a full recovery and was back on stage and recording with the band within months - including Isle of Wight Festival and Live 8 in 2005.
Primrose played drums on Canadian musician Ron Sexsmith's seventh album, Retriever.
Primrose is married to Esther, and they have two daughters, Lola and Isla.
Primrose is known to play (or has played) Ludwig Drums, Sabian Cymbals, Promark drumsticks and Aquarian drumheads.
