Jasper Carrot was on BBC's The One Show last night. He mentioned his best mate Bev Bevan many times,recalling as a 17 year old with Bev the day when the name Carrot came about. Jasper has not toured for many years but is back on the road doing stand up with 'The Bev Bevan Band' featuring Trevor Burton.

I wonder what sort of relationship Jasper has with Jeff,we all know that he and Bev are big buddies and the fact that Jasper introduced ELO at the 'heartbeat' concert,so maybe he could be a 'peace negotiator' as such...

I think Jasper was behind Jeff getting his recent star on Broad St, Birmingham. So he might have an influence in getting Bev and Jeff back together.

Seemed the best place to put this, as we don't have a News thread, hint, hint.
Jasper Carrott is on Sounds of the Seventies tomorrow (Sunday 24th) at 3pm on Radio 2. He'll probably only have a short spot, probably in the second hour, but the show is worth listening to anyway. Except that Johnnie Walker is a bit of a Bruce Springsteen fan so you might have to be ready to switch off suddenly. Or maybe that's just me.

This is funny because a few hours ago I was remembering this friend who didn’t like Springsteen and she was from his hometown!
The first time someone said to me that they didn't like the Beatles I was so shocked and totally thrown! I couldn't grasp it. What planet are you from? I thought he was teasing me!
Totally off track – your doing!

How can a person not like the Beatles though? Does Not Compute. I mean, you can be indifferent to them I suppose but actively dislike is pretty much impossible if you appreciate a good song. That's the Beatles as a unit, it can be quite easy to take against the work of the individual members, how strange. Thank you for alerting me to this, I shall ponder it over a large alcoholic beverage

As with bands I don't care for there are songs I like. I have to think now that he is older he appreciates them more. He was in his 20's and not into hard rock or punk, so he wasn't against pop music. I just think the dude had(s) no taste.
I keep an eye on your number of posts. You'er getting there!

Had a listen to JC, didn't have anything to say ELO-related, just played Mr Blue Sky.

hmmm....wonder how that meeting, bev and jeff, would go....jasper organises it and bev agrees....big bloke that bev character....still, jeff might have three new hits....bev hitting jeff...jeff hitting the floor and the ambulance hitting 90!....whoa a minute...i made all that up...ha ha...but honestly, i dont think theres much love lost between jeff and bev...neither mention the other ever, like they were never in the same groups for years and years...and bev doesnt even refer to elo at all like he didnt drum on some of the greatest records of all time...strange magic indeed....!

ok....so i reckon jasper may have his work cut out....ten minutes of your time....listen to this interview recorded in JUne this year..i think bev has hit the nail fairly and squarely on the head with a very heavy drum stick...bev dodges a few 'elo' bullets but finally puts the whole thing to bed with just a few words....and it brings nicely in to mind an ELO song....Its Over, dont shed a tear for me...!
