The Byker Banger

Byker Grove - "The Byker Banger". This was a clip that was taken from the series when the cast were involved in "The Great North Run". I was a regular drummer in Piranha Brothers at the time so our Director Matthew Robinson thought it a good idea to capitalise on that. Every time the van braked I fell over :-) I have included the full clip as I liked the song by Michelle Simpson (then Charles). The drums belonged to Simon King (hairy bikers fame) who is also an excellent drummer.
