Justin Welch

Justin Welch (born Justin Steven Welch 4 December 1972 in Nuneaton, Warwickshire) is an English musician, best known as the drummer in the Britpop band, Elastica.

Welch was expelled from school for swearing at a teacher and moved to London in his late teens. He was a keen musician and even at that age he was also a noted regular recreational drug user Fact|date=February 2007. He played drums in a number of bands in the early 1990s including an early line-up of Suede, where he would first meet Justine Frischmann. He was also the drummer of a garage rock band, Spitfire for a number of years.

Welch would join Elastica in 1991, who would go on to have considerable chart and critical success in the 1990s.

Like the other members of Elastica, he had some problems with drugs, although he is now said to be clean. The band split in 2001 and Justin now lives in Devon, with former Elastica and Heave keyboardist Mew, to whom he is married.

Early on, Justin studies at London's Drumtech drum school.
