Discovered this little gem via a Shadows Facebook group. Not strictly Shadows related, but there is a nice little guest appearance that's worth watching for. 81 years old and he's still got it!

Glad Brian was there, he was the only one I'd heard of!!

Great stuff. I'm ashamed to admit that, off the top of my head, the only ones I knew were Don Powell, Bev Bevan and, of course, the guy in the red braces!

Funnily enough, they are the only ones I know as well. Must be an age thing

Maybe. Looking at the list of drummers in the clip (below), and who they've played for/with, I realise that I must have heard some of them over the years, but just didn't recognise them or their names. It's nice that BB is the first one.

Bev Bevan: Quill, ex Move, ex ELO, ex Black Sabbath
Andy Edwards: Robert Plant, IQ, Frost,
Rob Brian: Peter Gabriel, Simple Minds, Siouxsie Sioux

But what, I wondered, is the story behind it?

A bit of Googling turned up this …

Bev Bevan speaks. Go to about the 2 minute mark... well worth it!
