Clem’s early memory of drumming was of playing on an old cash register when he worked in a restaurant. I racked my brains and tried to find old cash registers before realising that Clem needed to just be photographed in a record shop. He played on over forty number one records, so what better place to photograph him than in Merlin Records – just across the road from where he lives.
Drummer Clem Cattini talks with me about his amazing career from the drum fill in Shaking All Over, Joe Meek and the Tornados and some of the 43 #1s he's played on.
