And friend to the blog and neighbour (to me!) Diamond Dave dropped by to let me know the legendary drummer and session player Clem Catinni has died, his playbook checklist is frankly astonishing some folk believe he played on as many as 50 hits singles in the British Charts and was one of the first musicians I bought a single by via The Tornados - Telstar . . . heck I LOVED that single! I was 9!

He played on literally hundreds (check his Wikipedia entry it is amazing! of the work of others as session drummer and was even considered before Bonham for Led Zeppelin but played with Cliff Richard to Lou Reed!! Has died aged 89
