Broadcast (again) on BBC4, Friday evening... oh well, it's better than nothing, I suppose!

Yes, I saw this. But who was on the drums? Not easy to see.

He looks like Bobby Crush, the pianist (glad I got the spelling right there).
Somehow the Baldwin guitars just don't have the same look as the Burns ones even if they are actually the same instruments with a different badge.

They
were Burns guitars Tam, but after being returned for a service, they came back sporting the Baldwin nameplate.

I had actually said that they were originally Burns guitars Alan.
What I was trying to say was that the look of them is really "dumbed down" by the replacement logo; the Burns badge had style and class, the Baldwin one looks like a nameplate for a front door.

I'm sure that when they were first bagded Baldwin, they were covered in black tape during some tv appearances. Whether it was something to do with advertising or The Shads didn't like them, I'm not sure.

Wasn't this special presented by the now highly controversial late Jimmy Savile?

It was, and it was co hosted by a female presenter from Germany (I think).
