Clive Brooks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clive Brooks (born 28 December 1949, in London) is a drummer, best known for his work in the English progressive rock band Egg.
Brooks was a member of Uriel, with Dave Stewart (keyboards), Mont Campbell (bass) and Steve Hillage (guitar). (The band re-grouped later under the name Arzachel and released one album.) With Hillage's departure, the remaining three formed Egg in July 1968. The band split up in 1972 (although they came back together to record a final album, The Civil Surface in 1974) and Brooks joined The Groundhogs until 1975.
Brooks then became a regular drum technician for Pink Floyd, working with the band through to 1994. On 13 June 1981, the opening night of the last leg of The Wall tour, Brooks filled in for drummer Willie Wilson who had been taken ill.
Brooks was re-united with Stewart in 2000 for sessions eventually released on Jakko Jakszyk's The Bruised Romantic Glee Club (2006).
