Pip’s professional drumming career started at the age of 19,following a one year scholarship at Drumtech under the Director Francis Seriau, He went on to form The Pecadiloes with his twin brother and guitarist Nick Mailing. The band quickly gained critical acclaim for their live performances and soon secured a “record signing” deal with A&M records and EMI publishing.
They recorded two albums and several EPs and gained a popular reputation for producing music that pushed the boundaries. They also established a recording studio and record label to help push new acts and give them a platform to get heard.
Pip joined The Quireboys in 2003 when the band re-formed. His laidback groove and musical approach to the drums made him a permanent fixture in a band that had previously relied on session players.
“The mistake I think drummers make when playing in a band like The Quireboys is there is a huge difference between ‘Rock’ and ‘Rock n Roll’. It’s as different as Metal and Jazz.The Quireboys are a
Rock n Roll band and the job is about understatement and sitting in the pocket. Great players like Kenny Jones are masters of this. You need to leave plenty of air for the guitars and keys to come through”.
Pip recorded and toured the “Well Oiled” and “Homewreckers And Heartbreakers” albums and live DVD with The Quireboys, playing all over the world at high profile events such as Sweden Rock and the Wacken Festival, and as special guests opening for Whitesnake, David Lee Roth, U.F.O and Alice Cooper.

In 2009 Pip took a sabbatical from The Quireboys to persue other musical interests as a session player. Most notably touring with musical heavyweights James Burton and Albert Lee.

Pip rejoined the Quireboys in 2013 with the Launch of their new album “Beautiful Curse” which has already received rave reviews and the band are about to embark on an extensive UK and European tour, recording a new live DVD at their London O2 Academy show.

Pip returned to the UK in the spring of 2015 to take on what was to be a key role in his current role with Long John and Jules Fly in Long John's Killer Blues Collective.
