Drumming is often the rhythmic heartbeat that propels music forward, and within the realm of influential drummers, Bev Bevan's name shines brightly. Known for his exceptional talent, he has not only left an indelible mark on the music industry but has also inspired countless drummers around the world.

What an honour it is to have Bev join me on this episode of The Paul Weller Fan Podcast as we dig into memories of The Move (One of the best and most important British groups of the late 1960s).

The band are a huge favourite of Paul Weller so much so that he invited Bev to play on the Wake Up The Nation album, that was released in 2010.

At the time, Paul commented on his website... "Bev Bevan plays drums on this one. Producer, Simon Dine and I are big psychedelic music fans, so it was a real buzz. I was back to being a ten year old Move fan again."

Bev played drums on the two songs that open the album... Moonshine and Wake Up The Nation.

Paul Weller told him that he was his second choice; his first choice would have been Keith Moon...

Bev Bevan's impact on drumming and music is undeniable.

His exceptional talent, innovative style, and influential presence have made him a revered figure in the music industry. Aspiring drummers continue to draw inspiration from his work, fueling their own musical journeys.
