His career in music began at the age of 4 when given a toy piano, and he surprised everyone with his natural ability to play popular tunes “by ear”. So it was decided that he should be sent for lessons to a local piano teacher named Kitty King; and so began a regime of weekly lessons and daily practice, which to Clem’s annoyance took up time from his real passion – playing football! Clem’s true aim in life was to play at number 8 for West Bromwich Albion.
In spite of making excellent progress on the Royal School of Music piano course, Clem only began to develop a serious interest in music upon being taken to see “Rock Around The Clock” on its UK release in the late 50s, at which point a fascination with the electric guitar began to take hold.
As with so many young lads at the time this interest was further stoked at the beginning of the 60s by the records and TV appearances of The Shadows, featuring the first British guitar hero, Hamk Marvin.
