Why have I never seen this video? Nick (Topper) lives 100 yards from me and I have known him well for many years, still I never knew this little gem existed

To me, the Clash wasn't really the Clash without Topper

For those surprised by this Topper was a Jazz drummer before he joined the Clash, he had to change his style of playing for the Clash

Hi all, my mum was the singer on this track and is not the woman in the video. My mum still sings for the railway swing band elsewhere on KZfaq, check her out.

this guy, topper is a world class drummer. one of the best.

Wow, Topper looks wasted away here. This is four years after he was booted from The Clash for his heroin problems, time during which he did not get better. He continued to get worse, apparently (by his own account) living in squats, offing his possessions for drug money, and picking up a case of hepatitis C, before finally getting clean in the early 2000s. He looks and sounds much healthier and happier today. Go Topper.

Fantastic drummer! Beautiful singer. Nice drumset.

only such a tight drummer could keep that Clash bunch together.. they owe a lot to him

He should join up with Brian Setzer, He was Strummers mate and the best contender for a Clash get together.

I love Topper, one of my favourite drummers in the life

Topper Headon is a brilliant drummer!

Richard Simmons on the sax down there. The man sure knows how to blow.

Today is his birthday! Happy birthday, Topper!

You can read! He is indeed Topper Headon. Well done lad.

Everytime I see him he surprises and impresses me more

Joe and Mick think Topper's drums were the whole key to the Clash's development

Mate, I cannot tell you how many times I have searched for this video clip over the years and never found it. I grew up with it in the 80's and always loved it so much! I haven't seen this since then and it brought tears to my eyes. I'm forever greatful, thank you so much :D

Joe strummer called topper the engine room,the human beat machine, the source and heart of the band !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic 😎

The singer's name was Didi Sketcher. Nothing much is known of her other than this recording.

One of my favourite drummers with Rod de'Ath, Jordi Vila and, of course, John Bonham
