british rock and rollers reunited

[sebmelmoth2003]

...We recognised Marty Wilde first. He was the tall one with the full head of hair dressed in a camel coat. Vince Eager came next, a man who once quaked the nation with the soda pop fuelled Buzz, Buzz. Buzz. Then came the drummer who has quite possibly played on more No 1's than any other man alive, Clem Cattini. Bruce Welch of The Shadows, recovering from a recent heart op, had immaculately suited and booted for the occasion and last was Terry Dene, the man who was every girl's pin up as the face of innocence in 1957.

Every edition of Radio 4's The Reunion is different with its own rhythms and dynamics. Some are tense and frosty, laced with simmering resentment, others bemused and befuddled. Reunion Number 76 promises it all and more...

sebmelmoth2003,

Thanks for posting these recordings of the early british rock star interviews. I grew up in this era in England and was a fan of most of them. It is great to hear that they are still out there. I did think Terry Dene had died years ago though. Sorry to hear about Billy Fury's death. It sounded like they had some strange experiences in those early days.
