  Today on the Musicians Mentor podcast I speak with a true guitar hero, and woman who (in my opinion) probably inspired more girls to pick up the guitar than anyone had before her. The one and only - Jennifer Batten. Many of you will know of Jennifer because of her years of work with the biggest pop star to ever do it - Michael Jackson but in addition to her with with MJ, she also toured and recorded with the legendary Jeff Beck from 1999 to 2001.

  Episode 101 - Clem Cattini (The Tornados, Lou Reed, Cliff Richard)

  Jun 23, 202642 minS5

  For today's episode I thought I'd share an archived interview from around twelve years ago, that I did with session drumming legend - Clem Cattini. Based in Stoke Newington, UK - Clem Cattini is an English drummer who was not only a member of 'The Tornados' but so prominent in the 50's, 60's and 70's that he is actually regarded as one of the most prolific drummers in UK recording history, appearing on hundreds of recordings by artists like Cliff Richard, Lou Reed, Marc Bolan, The Kinks, Herman's Hermits, The Yardbirds and Tom Jones. Clem and I talk about his work with a young Jimmy Page, how hard it was to get lessons back in the day, songwriting and of course his legendary drumming career - where he played on over 40 UK number one singles. For more information on Clem or his work, please search for him across all socials or google.

  Episode 100 - Denholm Harding

  Jun 9, 20261h 56mS5

  On episode 100 of the show, I’m joined by South African multi instrumentalist/producer and 'Just Jinjer' bassist - Denholm Harding. Denholm began his musical career in Cape Town at the age of 5, when he appeared on a nationally televised talent show open to all ages called ‘Follow That Star’ where he made it through to the finals. By Grade 7, he joined popular kids program K-TV as the ‘K-TV Kids’ Band drummer and moved up to Johannesburg to pursue his musical career. The band toured Southern Africa extensively for 3 years and appeared numerous times on multiple television shows. Barely out of his teens he then joined South African Multi-Platinum super group Just Jinjer shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed debut album. Just Jinjer are considered one of the most successful Rock bands to ever come out of South Africa and have shared stages with artists like U2, Counting Crows, Stevie Wonder, Maroon 5, Goo Goo Dolls, Def Leppard, Spice Girls and Live… just to mention a few. In taking the next step Denholm coupled his deep understanding of music and instruments with his spectacular ear and began producing albums for other artists and bands like Jesse Clegg and Prime Circle,. He has since been nominated multiple times for “Best Producer” and “Best Engineer” at the South Africa’s music awards the SAMA’s numerous times.
