Bob Henrit

Bob Henrit was originally the drummer with Buster Meikle & the Day Breakers, together with Russ Ballard on guitar and Roy Ballard, Russ’s older brother, on piano.[1]

His neighbour, Harry Webb aka Cliff Richard[2][4] introduced him to the Roulettes (1962–1967), gaining initial professional success with them. They had their own recording career and also backed popular music singer, Adam Faith, both on tour and on Acetate.[1] After the demise of the Roulettes, Henrit briefly (1968) toured, including the US with Unit 4 + 2,[1] their association dated back to his session drumming on their biggest hit, “Concrete and Clay” (1965).

Henrit teamed up with Russ Ballard, Jim Rodford and Rod Argent in late 1968, to form Argent, and remained with them until the band ended in 1976.[1] After a brief spell with Rodford and John Verity as Phoenix, Henrit’s post-Argent career included work with a number of artists, including Charlie,[1] after their 1978 tour opening for The Kinks, and Ian Matthews.
