Born in Ireland, The Boomtown Rats drummer Simon Crowe now lives in the West Country in England.

Simon once made an appearance as the drummer for Thin Lizzy. The Thin Lizzy drummer couldn't do the show so Simon was asked to appear performing the song Waiting For An Alibi with Thin Lizzy on Top of the Pops. 

During the 1980's Simon formed Gung-Ho with Johnnie Fingers and Yoko.

Simon has also released 2 highly acclaimed albums with a local band called Jiggerypipery.
