As the rhythmic backbone of Portishead and drummer with Roni Size, Clive recorded two Mercury prize-winning albums: Dummy and New Forms.

He brewed up a ‘jazz-storm’ with Get The Blessing and since 2011 he has been the second drummer with Radiohead alongside Phillip Selway. As well as touring with the band he has also featured on their Grammy-nominated album A Moon Shaped Pool. Clive’s recorded and toured with Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant and his band The Strange Sensation and his CV includes collaborations with Hawkwind, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Tom Jones, Goldfrapp and Jeff Beck.

His unique, free approach to playing, taste and discipline ensure he is in constant demand as a recording/studio drummer. His influences of both jazz and rock merge to produce a hard-hitting drummer that can shift the expectations of a rigorous beat without any loss of precision. He is according to Robert Plant a "spectacular polyrhythmist who has had a career of great endeavour and versatility".
