ROBERT HENRIT
The following paragraph on Robert Henrit's career has been taken from the KINKS website:
Bob Henrit quietly replaced the long-serving Mick Avory in July 1984 after Avory's retirement from the active band. Henrit had been on the British music scene for many years, enjoying initial success as one of the Roulettes (1962-1967), who, in addition to a recording career of their own, backed the popular singer Adam Faith on tour and on record. After the demose of the Roulettes, Bob Henrit briefly (1968) worked with Unit Four + 2, an association which went back to his having been the session drummer on their biggest hit, Concrete and Clay (1965). In late 1968, Bob Henrit teamed up with Kink-to-be Jim Rodford to form Argent with ex-Zombies keyboard player Rod Argent. Henrit's post-Argent career included work with a number of artists, including Charlie, after their 1978 tour opening for the Kinks, and Ian Matthews. As a session drummer, he worked with Who vocalist Roger Daltrey and was present on the entirities of Dave Davies' GLAMOUR (1981) and CHOSEN PEOPLE (1983) solo LPs. He also worked regularly with the GB Blues Band which, in addition to Jim Rodford included a number of remnants of the Mike Cotton Sound. Bob Henrit was the obvious choice to replace Mick Avory, both because he and Jim Rodford had already proven to be a capable and compatible rhythm section and because of his previous ties with Dave Davies and other peripheral musicians who have augmented the Kinks over the years.
