[WDIZ] Badfinger 1979 interview

Nealsky 
In 1979, while I was programming WDIZ, a rock station in Orlando, one of my favorite bands, Badfinger, came to town to play a concert. It was my good fortune to have the band (Joey Molland, Tom Evans, Peter Clark & Tony Kaye) stop by my afternoon drive show for an interview.

In the cellars of Liverpool
The Beatles are gone - the Beat has remained
Liverpool is not only home to the Beatles, but a whole Beat movement.
Why does this sound could spread just in Liverpool? He has done, what changes?
These and other questions will Schraudenbach Kurt and Werner Prym answer in their film. (03.14.1965)
George Cassidy 1964
George is a bass guitarist in Liverpool beat group Masterminds. His parents believe that these employment kept him from becoming delinquent.
 
最後の方に Cavern で演奏する The Escorts (featuring Terry Sylvester) も出てくる。 Joey 加入後ならなぁ とか、Tom のバンドを選んでいればなぁ とか思ってしまう。  最初と最後のクレジット場面のサンドイッチマンは Dougie Meakin の姉の夫だそうです。
 
初放送は撮影の翌年、1965年3月14日。 その後も1966年7月2日、1967年3月29日と再放送され、最近も数年ごとに再放送されているようです。

The Fruit Eating Bears 1966-89

The Merseys by Billy Kinsley  
The Merseys + The Fruit Eating Bears
Tony Crane and I returned to Liverpool and looked for musicians to form a backing band, which is what Kit and Chris wanted us to do. They saw us as a kind of Walker Brothers or something along those lines. We arrived at the Blue Angel and the Masterminds were playing. Joey Molland, Chris Finley and George Cassidy were in the line-up. They played well, all had a good image and stage presence, so they were invited to join our backing band. They all said 'yes' straight away. A drummer we liked was Kenny Goodlass who had been in the Kirkbys and the Escorts, so he joined. Then Kit said he wanted two drummers, so we got Kenny Mundye who had filled in for Banksie when John went missing and vanished over a lost weekend!
