Old
Grey Whistle Test DVD - Volume 2
The
Old Grey Whistle Test was one of the UK's most influential live
music shows. Launched in September 1971, it hosted performances
from the world's foremost bands and performers including The Who,
Roxy Music, Joan Armatrading, The Pet Shop Boys, Daryl Hall and
John Oates, and many others.
Following
on from the enormous success of the first volume of The Old Grey
Whistle Test on DVD, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide is releasing a second volume
featuring more seminal performances spanning the entire series,
from 'Head Hands & Feet' in 1971 through to 'The Pogues' in
1986. The DVD takes us through the 70's with the likes of Roxy Music,
Kevin Ayers, The Who, Bruce Johnston, Joan Armatrading, The Adverts,
and into the 80's with performances from Aztec Camera, Orchestral
Manoeuvres in the Dark, Style Council, Suzanne Vega, Prefab Sprout
and The Pet Shop Boys.
The
DVD includes original interviews with Kevin Ayers, Roger Daltrey,
Nick Lowe, Rick Wakeman, Bill Nelson, T.V. Smith, Jools Holland
and Roddy Frame. It also features newly filmed interviews with presenter
Bob Harris, Roger Daltry, Hamish Stuart, Roddy Frame, Rick Wakeman,
Bill Nelson, Kevin Ayers, Nick Lowe, Edwyn Collins, Jools Holland
and founding producer Mike Appleton.
Two
of the shows original presenters, Mark Ellen and David Hepworth,
recall some of the programmes finest moments on an audio commentary
on the DVD.
Throughout
its seventeen-year run, The Old Grey Whistle Test pioneered live
music television shows, unafraid of broadcasting some of the more
raw, cutting edge performances and interviews and introducing the
nation to new bands who were later to become world-famous music
legends.
A third

Spring 2004.
