Drum Quest Musical Musings - Clem Cattini Interview (contents below)

In this Musical Musings interview I have the great pleasure of chatting to legendary session drummer Clem Cattini. In his impressive career spanning over 60 years, Clem has worked with too many names to mention!: Johnny Kidd, The Tornados, The Kinks, Cliff Richard, Tom Jones, Dusty Springfield, Bee Gees, Joe Cocker, Paul Weller (to name a few!),and has recorded over 40 no. 1 hit records.

I really enjoyed chatting to him, hearing his stories, thoughts and words of wisdom.( contents below)

Many thanks for watching!
