Didn't we have no TV for a week in about 1987?

85 I think. The Durris TV mast fell down during a storm.

We had a Xmas episode of Last of the Summer Wine taped along with the film version of Please Sir.

It felt a long seven days.

I caught the Please Sir film on TV at Xmas and still knew it word for word. 😂

?He was in The Doors and Joanne Whalley? was my response when asked about his career yesterday.

Very sad to read that.

One of the best drummers ever, in my opinion. You just need to see the diversity of who he played with, away from Blondie.

Posted some good stuff on Twitter over the years too.

RIP Clem.

He was in The Outlaws (not the US country song pulverisers of the mid-1970s) with Chas Hodges who, despite some of the Chas and Dave baloney was a great musician, at one time a player in Joe Meek?s recording house band, putting in the bottom end for soul boys Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers, and for Heads Hands and Feet whose guitarist was only the fabled genius Albert Lee.
