Brian Bennett of The Shadows.
Yvonne Cleland… Poor bloke! It’s such a loooooong platform!
Alan Esdaile… I think I saw this photo in a BBC4 programme, showing how groups used to get to gigs by train. Anyone know what venue they played in Bexhill?
Terry Pack… If it isn’t just a staged photo for an album cover, then I suppose they must have played at the De La Warr Pavilion.
Geoff Peckham… He may have just been kicked off the train for having excess baggage!
Robert Searle… Definitely looks like Bexhill Stn
Terry Pack… It’s definitely Bexhill, from an album cover. I can’t remember the title of the album, but it might be ‘Comjng Home’. It’s a solo album by Brian, and the photo was posed. The guard’s van was at the back of the train and the photo would suggest that Brian had got off at the driver’s end. Indeed, he would have had to have been in the driver’s cab for this photo to be real! The absence of a train and any other passengers make it clear that the photographer staged the shot from a position he liked.
Mick O’Dowd… That’s rock’n’roll!
Roland Clarke… Brian’s son Warren posted this same pic about 3-4 years ago stating it was Bexhill station.
Colin Gibson… Def Bex
Phil Little… I think the cases are empty.
Jim Breeds… Was he the bassist? 
Joe Knight… 
😂😃 those jumpers were every where I had one and the cravat
Dave Nattress… Empty cases – you’d sure hope so!
Terry Pack… No. It’s a posed shot, but he was carrying drums!
Alan Essex… Looks like a guitar case just ahead – did he have to carry that as well?
Empty cases – you’d sure hope so!
