No particular knowledge here, but I'd bet it is -- how many professional drummers can there be with that name in the UK? Well, lots, actually, but the fact that it's "Pete" and not "Peter" probably narrows the odds, since there a bit more formal over there. (I used to have an English boss named "Peter." NO ONE called him "Pete" -- ever!)

The drummer on this album was actually the renowned drummer/vocalist Ian Thomas. As well as this album, he's also played on George Michael's "Faith" & "Listen Without Prejudice", Scott Walker's "Tilt", S Club 7's "7", Hue & Cry's "Next Move", Finbar & Eddie Furey's "Love Letters" and my personal favourite, Rick Astley's seminal 1993 album "Body & Soul", although I hasten to add that he only provided cymbals & tom tom on the latter. Having worked on Roger's Cleberation earlier that year, I guess he was just too knackered to handle the whole kit.

I believe that was Zal Cleminson.ReadyToHearTheWorst wrote:That may not have been 'our' Pete, but surely Clem Clempson can be the grinning, clown painted guitarist from The Sensational Alex Harvey Band?
