Nicholas Bowen “Topper” Headon (born 30 May 1955), who is best known as one of the drummers for the band The Clash he joined the band in 1977 and was later released from the band in 1982 for his heavy drug use. After he joined the band and he wanted to stand out as an excellent drummer and was able to use his skills as a drummer to up the sound of The Clash. Headon began as a jazz drummer so he adapted his style to fit the punk sound of the band he is a finesse drummer, ya know? Most punk bands rip through each song clammering along but, they soon changed up and slowed down. Topper was one of punk’s best drummers with a mature sound which gave an advantage. He may have only playing with the band for a short time Topper was able to play on some of the Clash’s best albums and classic albums in punk music. After cleaning himself up Headon played in several bands even forming a small Jazz band. Headon now lives a simple life in England, giving lectures on drug abuse dangers and giving drumming tutorials and lectures on the music he occasionally will play with other bands.  Headon played perfectly with each song if he needed to rip through a faster track he never missed a beat if it was a little more experimental he was on the beat as well. He is still is a major part of punk music.

“Rest in peace, Bobby.”

Tench would go on to work with Van Morrison on 1978’s Wavelength and played on Eric Burdon’s Darkness, Darkness, among other supporting roles. He then joined Humble Pie and recorded the albums On to Victory and Go for the Throat before the band split in 1981.

I will never get tired of this version. I love Max Middleton's piano solo and how deftly it segues in to the song. I love Bobby Tench's impassioned vocals. We seriously need more of that right now. Drummer Cozy Powell and bassist Clive Chaman lay down solid, smokin groove. And then Jeff comes in after the piano solo with that pick-along-the-strings thing and just elevates it with that alone! #JeffBeckGroupMkII #JeffBeck #MaxMiddleton #BobbyTench #CozyPowell #CliveChaman
