Tony after The Shadows...

[JimN]

Did anyone see the show when Tony was playing in Bert`s backing band when the drumstick flew out of his hand and then pick it up.

It was all live TV in those days...

A reminder of a thread from 2012, including Rob's account of Tony's pre-Decca association with Joe Meek...

I knew there was a related photo somewhere - and Piet Muys has come up with the link. I've added it to flickr so that it can be accessed from here. Note the Gretsch kit - and Bert's sunburst Verithin (that must be a rarity):

The bass player is Ron Prentice who, apparently, played bass on the Yardbirds' Heart Full Of Soul.
