Rod was there when John Lennon first met Paul McCartney, but left the band before Paul joined, in order to go to university. Paul being the most determined of the band soon invited George Harrison to join and then they began to go places.

Rod doesn't seem to regret not becoming a Beatle and says he's had fun in his life just the same-although the money would have been nice. On the 25th anniversary of John Lennon's death, all the members of the original band-before Paul joined-5 in all, were invited to re-form for a tribute concert, and things took off.

They formed an electric band and have been touring ever since, USA, Japan, Russia, and have recently played in Berlin. Now there're just three of them, Rod Davis on guitar and vocals, Colin Hanton on drums and Len Garry on Guitar. They'll often invite members of the audience who "know how" to accompany them on washboard or Tea Chest bass.

He plays mostly his own material, and some country and Bluegrass stuff, and the odd skiffle tune-Lonnie Donegan etc, for which I accompany him on the Washboard - and tells the story of the development of the British Rock n Roll scene.

He's a very fascinating man and a great entertainer. Please click on the links below for more information.
