Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on March 25, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Hugo! From keeping the beat with Gang of Four to grooving with Illustrated Man, you've always known how to drum up excitement. Your rhythms have inspired countless air-drummers worldwide—though none quite match your impeccable timing and style.

Whether managing Shriekback or rocking stages around the globe, your career has been a masterclass in musical versatility. Here's hoping this birthday hits all the right notes—just like you always do behind that drum kit. Keep making noise and showing us all how it's done; after all, age is just another number on your setlist. Cheers to you!
