Session musicians - the real stars

[Hagar]

I know a lot of the younger members here are fans of some of the big 60s groups. I wonder just how many of you realise that the musicians on many of those records are not whom they appear to be. Here's a couple of interesting biogs of well-known British session drummers who between them played on the vast majority of 60s hit records along with other session musicians. Lots of famous names mentioned there. These are the real stars & this might surprise even the older fans.

Turned down the offer to become the full-time drummer of a new unknown group named The Beatles. [quote]"We [Joe Brown & the Bruvvers] were on tour in June I962 and played at (Liverpool's) Cavern and Litherland Town Hall. After the show we went to a club called the Blue Angel with Brain Epstein.
