  • Drum routine with Roy Castle, Phil Seamen, Jack Parnell, Kenny Clare and Art Morgan from The Roy Castle Show.
    Dad was in his element playing music and loved showcasing his favourite musicians. These were the top jazz drummers in the UK at the time and dad was in awe of them all. It was a live TV show and, not long before transmission, Phil Seamen, who was the one everyone revered, was nowhere to be seen. Eventually, he arrived at the studio, worse for wear and holding a plastic drum kit, saying "sorry I'm late, I couldn't find my drum kit, so I went to Hamley's and bought another one". Jack Parnell managed to locate another kit quickly so the show could go on!

    Your Dad was very versatile. Actor, comedian, TV presenter, musician, dancer...he had lots of charisma and of course, to quote a word from his ending song from "Record Breakers"... dedication.

      TV was a lonelier place without Roy, I was very sad when he passed away.

    I used to live in Gerrards Cross, & I saw Roy Castle a few times & he was not at all show bizzy, he was just like anyone else, very down to earth.

    As I kid I knew him on Record Breakers. Each time I see a clip of him now he just seems to be more and more versatile. What a talent!

    Now that’s how to do a drum battle! Entertaining and musical!
    Roy Castle was always one of our most versatile entertainers
    And the story about Phil Seaman in the video info is typical Phil; a gifted musician who sadly never conquered his demons

    Brilliant. Drums sound amazing, but I think my favourite part is when Roy tap steps into the drum seat. Perfect rhythm. Deeply envious!

      Get yourself a pair of tap shoes Eanna and let the rhythmic sauntering begin!

      @@BenCastleTV Excellent idea! Full tap mastery is unlikely, but surely 'rhythmic sauntering' can be attempted...

    Amazing! Found this by accident while searching for Phil Seamen footage. I have fond memories of watching your Dad on Record Breakers etc during my childhood and used to enjoy his tap dancing and trumpet but I had somehow forgotten his drumming skills . So many happy memories are attached to the name Roy Castle.

      Thanks Dave, glad you enjoyed it. I know they had to find a spare kit at the last minute for Phil Seaman, who turned up with some toy drums, claiming to have lost his own kit.

    Wondered why the bass had JP on it ( Jack Parnell Orchestra - wasnt it Val who normally played ?)

    • @BenCastleTV
      @BenCastleTV  Рік тому

      I think it was for the names of the drummers in the clip and it was Jack on drums. I don't think Val played in the band. He was usually the one putting on the shows. I may be wrong though as it was a fair bit before my time.
