Perfect drums for a perfect song.

Only 70, I gather - hardly a full innings, but it's how you live, now how long of course! Either way, another precious piece of my childhood gone but never forgotten ('Denis' was the first record I bought). The guy was a drummer dervish!

Didn't know/had forgotten the band were Rs fans.

'Once I had a love and it was a gas / Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass' just about sums up me and Rangers these days.

Rock on, Clem, and thank you for the music.

Poll:

Playoffs?

Met him several times at the International Beatles Week festivals in Liverpool, including August 2024. Such a down to earth, lovely, fun loving, easy going character. A real tragedy to lose someone like this. RIP.

	Never knowingly right.
Poll:	How long before new signings become quivering wrecks of the players they were?

Saw him recently with Blondie an excellent gig. Our own Mr Matlock on base. They were so tight and seemed good mates from how they interacted.

Also saw him with Hugh Cornwall and a base player doing Stranglers songs in a small club. What a night.

What a drummer, adding dimensions to songs and never overplaying.

Always saw him wearing mod stuff. Definitely an Anglophile about music.

I thinks he was mates with Matlock - seem to remember an interview with him saying he always stayed at Matlock's place when he was in London.

The drumming in this is the rack and pinion. The engine room. When i heard he passed this was the track that popped into my head. Driving four to the floor drumming that carried it across the finishing line. Clem at his best. Beatification in extremis. magic.

Don't need no politicians to tell me things I shouldn't be, Neither no opticians to tell me what I oughta see.

I met him in New York in September 2004. A really lovely guy and a big Anglophile.

The band weren't really Rs fans - they were guests of Chris Wright (Chrysalis Records) in 1979 at LR.
