Oh this is sad. In 2004 I was doing jury service in Barkingside and there were two celebs in my jury; Tom Wilkinson and Clem Catini. Tom made it obvious he wished to remain anonymous but Clem was friendly and charming. It was the week of the MOJO awards so i invited him along. 1/2

Sad to hear that legendary drummer Clem Cattini has died. Clem has played on over 40 UK number one singles. R.I.P. 🥁

RIP Clem Cattini - a true great of British music. Here’s an interview I did with him for Mojo early 1995

Sad to hear that famed UK drumming legend Clem Cattini died yesterday at 89... Most never knew they were listening to him. From Johnny Kidd & the Pirates’ “Shakin’ All Over” to Cliff Richard’s “Devil Woman,” Clem’s drumming helped shape British rock. #ClemCattini #OneHitWondered

Hearing rumours that Clem Cattini has died. The drumming equivalent of Eric "Winkle" Brown (who flew more types of aircraft than any other British pilot in history), Clem played on more number one records than any other British drummer, 42 in total. An absolute titan behind the kit.-

Here's an interview with Clem Cattini from the Arsenal magazine in 2010. Well worth a read.

Which meant that he ended up meeting Jimmy Page, The Shadows, Ray Davies and a bunch of other musicians he'd known and played with back in the 60s. Most star-struck person to meet Clem Catini? Tom Verlaine. 2/2

Pour one for Clem Cattini and listen to Telstar seven times in a row. 1937 - 2026.

Remembering the studio legend that is Clem Cattini, who, Yellow River apart, played drums on the entire first Christie album. 🙏
