RIP

I recall Brian Bennett telling me this back when they were recorded and I also confirmed it with him again when the CDs were released in 2014.
The process was diferent at Bruton to KPM in that Brian would write, arrange and conduct his music with muscians assembled by Bruton - he didn't play on his own pieces.
My ears also tell me it isn't Brian playing drums on Drama Montage - both stylically and the drum sound. Back then Harold was using a Silver Sonor multi concert tom kit for the "Hal Blaine" esc fills- very simailr to the one Graham Jarvis played.
Back in 1980 a lot of the guys who worked for Bruton got together for a live concert which was recorded but not commercially released.
The line-up was:
Woodwind: Ron Aspery, Harry Gold, George Hamer, Andrew Jackman, Duncan Lamont.
Brass: Jack Dorsey, Alec Gould, Richard Hill, Graham Walker, Derek Wadsworth.
Guitars: George Fenton, Richie Hitchcock, Paul Keogh, Irvin Martin, Terry Taylor, Brian Whitehouse.
Keyboards: Trevor Bastow, John Cameron, John A. Coleman, Peter Cork, Brian Dee, Steve Gray, Leslie Pearson.
Drums: Harold Fisher.
Bass: Simon Benson, John Fiddy, Dave Richmond.
Percussion: Eric Allen, Jim Lawless, Frank Ricotti.
Harp: David Snell.
Violin: Don Harper.
Cymbalom: John Leach.
Sadly Duncan Lamont passed away, last month, aged 87 after a very long career:
