Description

Clem Cattini's life has been a whirlwind of music and mayhem, spanning over 60 years and countless iconic recordings. From his early days with Terry Kennedy's Rock and Rollers to his legendary work with Johnny Kidd and The Pirates, and his time with maverick producer Joe Meek, Clem's career has been marked by some of the most enduring and influential music of the 20th century.

At the heart of it all was Clem's remarkable talent as a drummer, and his ability to form and join some of the most successful bands of the era, including The Tornados, who recorded the worldwide hit Telstar. With his unique style and skill, Clem played on hundreds of hit records, and was approached by numerous stars for tours and collaborations, including Paul McCartney's Wings and Led Zeppelin.

This is Clem Cattini's story, as told by two of his closest friends and collaborators, Clive Smith and Bip Wetherell. With intimate insight and behind-the-scenes stories, they bring to life the highs and lows of Clem's incredible career, and offer a unique glimpse into the world of 1960s and 1970s music.
