"Drummer Colin Berriman was playing with Steve Cassidy And The Escorts at a West Yorkshire public swimming pool that had been boarded over to create a dance floor. Also on the bill were The Beatles.

He said: "I was tuning up and Ringo Starr said to me: `That's a real lovely roll that you do, it's so smooth'. And so I showed Ringo Starr how to do a roll.""
