Paul Fenton (musician)
Paul Fenton (born 4 July 1946, Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England) is an English drummer, best known for his work with T. Rex. After leaving Christie,[1] he started playing drums for T. Rex in 1973, after being recommended to Marc Bolan by his producer Tony Visconti. He also toured briefly with Marc Bolan & T. Rex in 1974, and played additional drums with Davy Lutton on the songs "Solid Baby", "Funky London Childhood", and "Visions Of Domino".
Fenton also played in Carmen, a progressive rock band with a flamenco focus.[2] The band released three albums between 1973 and 1975.
Fenton along with Mickey Finn, formed a T. Rex tribute band in 1997, named Mickey Finn's T-Rex. Even after the death of Finn in 2003, he continued to play drums for the band, which now performs named more simply as T-Rex.
