Mark Price (musician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mark Price (born August 10, 1959 in Burnley, Lancashire) is a British drummer, who is principally famous either for being the first full time drummer for All About Eve or for being the drummer of Del Amitri between 1997 and 2002. His first son Joe (1990) is also the nephew of All About Eve's leader Julianne Regan.

Price was recruited to All About Eve in 1988 just before their first album was released. 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.
Mark 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.
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).
Price played the drums for the All About Eve reunion tour in 1999 but stayed with Del Amitri and so All About Eve carried on without him touring acoustically.
Price's career also includes playing at the Live Aid concert in July 1985 as the drummer in Nik Kershaw's backing group.
