Rivron featured on drums on the songs "Sophisticated Fool" and "All We've Got to Do Is..." from A Bit of Fry and Laurie.[unreliable source?] He was a contributing writer to Rhythm, a UK drumming magazine, and is a regular guest on Jools Holland's BBC shows.[unreliable source?] Aged 15, Rivron appeared on the children's TV programme Blue Peter, playing the drums.
