Thanks for the comments everyone. Really enjoyed this interview. Having been taught drums by Ted since the age of 12 it is surreal that this would be the last time I would ever see him. His legend will live on for sure.
Scott thanks for the timely interview. I'm one of those 70's guys who hold these guys in stratospheric regard, saw SAHB here in Cali and it's never been the same. Haha, but, then, why should it! Good on you...
To Ted, Hugh and, obviously, Alex: 💚 RIP. See you again, one of these old afternoons. Hello Zal: I am looking forward to the soon publication of your novel Novel. Chris: Thank you for the education of how to play bass with Style. 🔊 🌵 ... Scott: Although we have never met, I felt that I did not know you ... Until now. Stay free. Rab 🍻 😎
Zal Cleminson is a guitarist that gives me shivers through and through. Being a guitarist myself for 30 years, I always founs myself gravitating to Zal because his playing had a serious unpredictability! His style is magical, and he is just getting better and better as years go bye. SAHB was a band that true Rock n Rollers got into becaue of the versatility in the music. God bless them all, and thank you for the upload and interview.
I learnt to play drums listening over and over to SAHB stories, and 40 years on I still owe my technique and style to Ted McKenna. Inspirational drummer. Friendly, modest guy in real life as well.
The SAHB was so under-rated and were not appreciated enough around the entire globe. They indeed were greater and more creative, with the ability to combine old and new musical influences and make people love it! RIP Alex!
I'm absolutely gutted by the sad passing of Ted McKenna! A solid drummer and, by all accounts, a true Gentleman. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. My best mate and i are going to see Zal and his /sin'dogs/ next month. Can't wait, but i shall be certainly thinking of Ted also. RIP Ted... \m/
SAHB were really special because they put on a tremendous show. The musical talent was beyond question and the stage performances were always awesome. Thank goodness you didn't stick to one style. Loved every moment guys. Thanks for the wonderful memories.
It's such a pleasure to hear Ted and Zal give their perspectives and to hear them talk about Alex and SAHB. The LPs are classics and I play them to this day. Saw two unforgettable shows in LA. Great great great musicians and their art is deep.
Used to go to the Houff to see bands back in 1976-80. I'd get the ferry fae Dunoon and kip in a close to catch the first western ferry back on monday morning.
Great muso's, and clearly two great blokes! Obviously very intelligent and easy-going guys. So nice to see the banter, and how they bounce off each other. A lot of reciprocated love and respect right there. As i say, really nice to see! An old, old acquaintance of mine once saw Ted at a 'Musicians Union' type of gig (in the mid '80's) and got him to autograph a MU sticker for me. As a fellow drummer it meant a lot, and i still have it, somewhere. Really, really enjoyed watching this... \m/ (:o)
So sad watching this, and listening to them both. Both legends.Ted would be gone in less than 6 months, and then Hugh as well.So sad. Great interview, with some amazing insightful comments. Some we're already discussing on The Apollo Facebook page.Long live SAHB!
Really nice to see Zal and Ted after all these years and so nice to hear them talk about their time with SAHB who were one of the greatest early theatrical rock bands who inspired so many other great bands. Good for those old fellows.
Really sad to hear about Ted especially as it was only few days after I watched this interview. I saw him many times with Rory Gallagher SAHB and I met him at a Bonnie Rait gig in Glasgow he was so friendly and approachable.
Saw Zal and Ted at the Marquee back in the day. The band was called Zal I think. The singer was Leroy Brown a backing singer from the Tubes, we were told. It was a hell of a show, with Leroy hanging from the lighting rig.. Didn't last long but hugely memorable for all the right reasons.
Saw the SAHB 4 or 5 times. Listening to Faith Healer (chemically assisted) at the Reading Pop Festival, and Pink Floyd at Knebworth were my two musical highlights of the 70s.

Hi Scott. Davie Bateman here, not sure if you remember me from your TCSR days. Just finished reading the Sensational Alex Harvey book, and subsequently came across this. Brilliant stuff amigo. Hope you're keeping well. All the best.
Hi all, thanks for all your comments and so glad you liked the interview. SAHB truly were special. I have uploaded a podcast today as it's been three years since Ted's passing. It's the latest video on this channel. Hopefully you get a chance to see it and I really hope you like it. Vambo Roolz
A really great interview,from 2 brilliant musicians who remained friends throughout - so poignant to hear Ted's comments about the future,and his plans.Sad that the Sin Dogs are no more too,but glad Zal is back recording with Orphans of the Ash.RIP Ted,a truly class act and a brilliant rock drummer.
You didnt do too bad did you? I saw you at "the Who Put the boot in" at Chalton Football ground. You were brilliant. I had though of you as a pub band until then. That changed my opinion completely
Zal knows that a front man dressed as messiah or monster sparks interest and puts fannies in seats. He is a man who knows how to get attention with spectacle, and keep attention with musicianship.
hEy ZaL, hEy TeD. Just droppin a line from Oz ]Oshtraya[.....thanks for the sweet insight into the misty days of yore and thought I'd send a link [which I'll put below] of a Perth [australia] band called the Drones....don't know whether you've heard of em but they have a kinda SAHB theatrical sound that always reminds me of the vambo days. Stay well and Zal, keep up the good work painting mate. You have a fine touch. Ted, you're a legend. Cheers to you both and thank you Scott for a dandy interview. [ps: my favourite tune from SAHB would have to be the Dolphins off Rockdrill] ua-cam.com/video/dr69pouGIBA/v-deo.html
It hurts to read your comment, but its so true, so many of the greats are passing away and it hurts, as it feels like a piece of yourself goes after each passing.
@@joethelion6016 i had a mate from northern ireland and i had to keep stopping him when we were talking to repeat himself sometimes i never got what he was trying to say, it is a bit like that with this vid
Rest In Peace, Ted. Thank you for the music.

Well I've been a Who fan since the age of 7, a year after SAHB stole the gig at Celtic Park. The crowd didn't want The Who to bother! 🤣

Agreed! They were something else

Wish I could have told Ted how much I loved his drumming on Assault Attack.
I believe you already have, O. Stay free. R 💚🍻😎
The groove in “Broken Promises” AWESOME
An absolutely wonderful interview with Zal & the sorely missed Ted thank you ever so much for this mate 👍
brilliant podcast thanks to scott, zal, and ted
Thanks for this. Big heroes of mine, though here in the US they aren’t as well known. Fantastic and adventurously creative players. Much respect.
Zal's solo in 'Framed" on that
b/w video- recording (the first tine i ever saw him rip) was fk'kn SAVAGE!!!
Thnj you for the inspiration!!!
Great to see this. From lifelong SAHB fan in SE London.

Thanks a lot for watching and for all the kind words. Two great blokes indeed!!! 😎🤘😎
Great interview.....
Greeting from an Aussie born in Scotland.
When it comes to guitarist whose style and talent are from another planet, two come to mind immediately. Zal Cleminson and Michael Hedges ...
Brilliant brilliant brilliant !!!
Just found out about Ted's passing! So sad. A great solid drummer. RIP my man
💚
Great interview, saw Ted with Rory Gallagher home in Dublin first. Then got into SAHB.
Amazing!!
Wonderful guys, fabulous musicians. Such an inspiration - imagine the laughs they must have had in the van 🖤
Yeah and fallouts
zal❤
Still amazing after all these years!
what a great interview - the insight is magical , sad to hear Ted is no longer with us to share. We have this - which is excellent.
So sad watching this, and listening to them both. Both legends.Ted would be gone in less than 6 months, and then Hugh as well.So sad. Great interview, with some amazing insightful comments. Some we're already discussing on The Apollo Facebook page.Long live SAHB!

Great interview with Zal and Ted....RIP Ted 💖
What a great band! Been a fan since 1975.
This was a very unusual, interesting great group... Amazing musicians...
Zal , you Rock man..🎉
Really nice to see Zal and Ted after all these years and so nice to hear them talk about their time with SAHB who were one of the greatest early theatrical rock bands who inspired so many other great bands. Good for those old fellows.
Great interview, hopefully they will do some new music together. Really enjoyed this thanks guys.

Ted McKenna on the SAHB live album is quite superb, the feel he had
RIP Ted McKenna. Su. :0(
My dad knew Alex was at Tommy Steele contest when Alex won!
Awesome stories.👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☠️💀
Jesus wasn’t framed of course but rather painted the picture within the frame.
A masterpiece of his own creation.
You didnt do too bad did you? I saw you at "the Who Put the boot in" at Chalton Football ground. You were brilliant.
I had though of you as a pub band until then. That changed my opinion completely
R.I.P. Mr. McKenna! \m/
I saw Alex as Adolf live at Charlton FC in 74 or 76?
SAHB live is one of the best live albums I've ever heard.
Really love the VAMBO song, that was badass at the Rainbow theatre.
brilliant
"It was in tune when I bought it." 😂
I thought they were sensational.
what a band they was
RIP TEDDY McKENNA
Timestamp 6' 30". Zal: 'Sell BP. Buy British Cocoa!' 😎

SAHB were the Bravehearts of 70's rock 'n' roll.
Zal knows that a front man dressed as messiah or monster sparks interest and puts fannies in seats. He is a man who knows how to get attention with spectacle, and keep attention with musicianship.
Underrated band a bit like stone the crows

Why Zal got his mask in SAHB?
The parties coming to an end and everyone is disappearing
So true, I feel that
It hurts to read your comment, but its so true, so many of the greats are passing away and it hurts, as it feels like a piece of yourself goes after each passing.
Very true, more true as each year passes.
You don't take care of the light, the interviewees in the shadow?
hi
The gun is being framed here. Guns kill no one, it's the jackass who picks up and shoots another for no reason.
They do a lot less harm if a little flag comes out of the barrel with " bang " written on it.
sadly i think i would have liked this interview but i just did not understand much of what they were saying,
Why, they're speaking quite clearly?
@@joethelion6016 I could not understand the broad brogue
@@ricdavid7476 No brogue, they're actually quite posh
@@joethelion6016 i had a mate from northern ireland and i had to keep stopping him when we were talking to repeat himself sometimes i never got what he was trying to say, it is a bit like that with this vid
Maybe impaired hearing?
Are you British?
Woke world now....its a shame that we are being squashed verbally and visually.
