I read about it and about the concerts to help him. "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" is great and I listen to it quite often on You-Tube. <br /><br />Actually I have photographs from a friend, ready for a posting about him, so now with your Comment I shall just put it up today, an instant post by Barry Walker.<br /><br />Do write again anytime because it'll really be great if you could write a series of articles about the British Invasion in Singapore. Would you?<br /><br />Regards,<br />AndyANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. ©https://www.blogger.com/profile/10946638825812052608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-77577586791773892502010-01-28T17:49:45.019+08:002010-01-28T17:49:45.019+08:00Good morning,

...Good morning,<br />The drummer in question was Charlie<br />Charles who was the last drummer with The Figures and drummer of The In-Sect. Just before Charlie returned to the UK he formed a band called No Sweat in Singapore.<br />On his return to the UK Charlie and I met up again. He was drummer for "Link Wray" the famous American blues guitarist and later formed "Loving Awareness." They recorded a brilliant album recorded at Earth,Wind & Fire's studio in the USA. Following that, he became the drummer for Ian Drury & The Blockheads and a very sought after session drummer. Sadly, Charlie died a few years ago.We were very good friends right up to his untimely death.I was a Pall bearer together with his son Hughie and the rest of The Blockheads at his funeral.<br />He was a brilliant drummer whose timing was The Best.<br />Listen to the song "Hit me with your rythmn stick"<br /><br />Also in both groups was Eugene Kwok<br />who in my opinion was the BEST pianist/keyboard player bar none in Singapore.Eugene is now a top concert pianist in Chicago.<br />Best regards<br /><br />Barry Walker.
