I didn't actually mean that. I was meaning the references to the Shadows tribute band, Shazam. And the fact that the reviewer was surprised to discover that the Shads had never recorded Carillon.

Ah, I missed that bit. The YouTube link took me to a point in the video a fair bit after it had started. So - I’ve rewound and heard the front now!
I’d forgotten that performance of Carillon - we enjoyed doing it and it certainly went down well.

The Shadows ought to have recorded it, then got Peter Rogers to direct a promo video for them. They could have called it Carillon Hank.

Chaps, I don't feel this joke has had the appreciation it deserves. Speaking as an Environmental Humourist (I recycle old jokes), I consider it a high quality POW (Play On Words) and worthy of a large round of groans.
