Clem pictured enjoying a Guinness in London Colney with Colin Frechter and Dave Barber on Monday 15Sep03. Funny I should be asked about "Hurdy Gurdy Man". I spoke to John Paul Jones who played bass on it and was the MD. The guitar player was Alan Parker. American Web sites say that John Bonham and Jimmy Page played on it. This is absolute Bullshit as JPJ said. This is the e-mail sent BY JPJ. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I have been contacted by Clem Cattini
with regard to Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man Donovan Accoustic Guitar No other musicians were involved in this
session John Paul Jones On Thursday 29 August 2003 Clem provided the music for the Vodafone Variety Club Three Day Golf Championship at Wentworth Golf Club, Sunningdale. Also with drummer Clem Cattini were Colin Frechter on keyboards and Colin Farley (Cutting Crew) on bass guitar. They also provided the musical backing for cabaret comedian Tom O'Connor. Over £31,000 was raised at the event, with many celebrities in the audience, including; Henry Cooper, Gary Lineker, Jimmy Hill, John Conte and Jimmy Tarbuck. Clem is a keen Arsenal Football Club supporter and season ticket holder. He is also working at the Arsenal Football Club's London Colney training ground with the youth team. More news soon.
To see more photos click here A Humorous Story From Clem Boredom leads to a change of name In 1958 when touring Scotland as Billy Fury's backing group, "The Beat Boys", the lads did something that resulted in a change of name for their band. Kenny Packwood (Lead Guitar), Georgie Fame (Piano), Brian Gregg (Bass) and Clem Cattini (Drums), one cold afternoon when they were sat in the group van and had nothing to do, decided to pass the time by lighting one another's farts.
One can only imagine that scene, and the loud laughter, as each musician in turn tried to out-do the others. As it was a cold day, their wind, when ignited, was blue in colour. As a consequence, from that time onward, they started to call themselves, "The Blue Flames". A name that Georgie Fame obviously liked a lot. He used it for his own backing group in the sixties.
