On Saturday, September 15, Sky Arts will debut the music documentary My View: Clem Burke at 9pm in the UK and Ireland (view trailer here). Philip Sansom directed the film, with Rupert Sansom producing for PHIX in conjunction with Canis Productions. The producers describe it as an access-all-areas look into the world of Burke, also known as the “Doctor of Rock” and dubbed the hardest working drummer in the business.
Clem received an Honorary Doctorate of Music degree from the University of Gloucestershire on July 30, 2011 in recognition of both his musical excellence and the pioneering research work he has undertaken exploring the physical demands of drumming and the uses of drumming to promote physical and psychological well being. Clem’s collaboration with researchers Dr. Marcus Smith and Dr. Steve Draper, cofounders of the Clem Burke Drumming Project, is still ongoing more than ten years after its inception in July 2008, and they proudly announce the relaunch of the Clem Burke Drumming Project official website at https://clemburkedrummingproject.org/
