Leamington care home resident who was a drummer in a band is still rocking and rolling at the age of 100
When Leamington care home resident Walter Cheslin was born in 1921 popular music at the times was jazz or classical.
But by the time he was in his late 20s and early 30s rock and roll music had been born and Walter was playing as a drummer in the Bob Wilson Band in Coventry where he grew up and lived.
Walter worked at the engineering firm Herberts in the city.
