  • This is a weekly program that was broadcast on CITY-TV in Canada. In 1981, an episode was dedicated to ELO. Presenter Doug Pringle interviewed Bev Bevan shortly after the release of his book, The Electric Light Orchestra Story. The interview was divided into small segments, with several of ELO's music videos shown in between.
    Unfortunately, the music videos had to be removed from this upload due to copyright issues. However, these promotional videos can be easily accessed on the official ELO RUclips channel.
    The ITV network in the UK aired this particular episode on 17th December 1983.
    The promotional videos that had to be removed were...
    1) Sweet Talkin' Woman: • Electric Light Orchest...
    2) Shine A Little Love (version 1): • Electric Light Orchest...
    3) Hold On Tight: • Electric Light Orchest...
    4) Don't Bring Me Down: • Electric Light Orchest...

    I had this interview on a VHS tape in the early 1980s. There were a few ELO bits and pieces on that tape.

      Yeah, you'd have thought that the researchers would have done a better job there. A bit of an insult to put up a Jeff Lynne loop.

    For me personally, The Move were absolutely the tops. As an young American kid I was mesmerized by The Move. The Move, Small Faces and The Who. Nothing like them. I know Trevor and Roy put the Move down as just a Pop Top-40 group but I fail to see them realize the impact they had on the youth of the day and still today. We still love and appreciate their talent as a band and their music. Yes, musically they must go forward but never forget your roots. I'm 75 years old and for me The Move still are one of the greatest groups ever. I hope the former members realize this. Bev seems to know. Come on Roy and Trevor get humble!

      The Move were my second favourite band after the Beatles, and their rise coincided with a particularly happy and carefree period of my life, so became in my mind indelibly associated with that.
      A bit surprised to hear that Roy is apparently dismissing them the way you say. He's never struck me as the type to take himself and his music too seriously (witness his antics with Wizzard).
      I enjoyed all the Move's work, but that first line-up before Ace's departure was really something special. A pity I was just too young to see them live. I did see the foursome (post-Ace) early in '69 but they had a bit of an off-night and tbh it was rather a let-down. However, this was shortly before Trev left, which may have had something to do with it.
      The final phase, with Jeff collaborating, also had the potential to do something really special. Unfortunate that it couldn't continue. My understanding is that Roy couldn't stand the thought of having to have any further dealings with Don Arden, for which he can hardly be blamed.

    I don’t know the names of too many drummers. Of course, Ringo, Phil Collins, Don Henley… Now, those guys generally had bigger parts because they either sang lead most of the time or at least some of the time. Bev Bevan is the only drummer who I recognize instantly no matter who he played with.

    Weird line of questioning...perhaps they were generic questions asked of every guest...the tory thing always leaves me a bit cold but I love ELO for their music not their politics...I wouldn't buy a Jeremy Corbyn album

    Bev Bevan in 1981 thinks the new ave music coming out was bullshit.
    😂😂😂😂😂
    Abd those new wave musicians he thinks are crappy became household names and look down on the indie rock generation.

    • @billysequins

      Ironic as the next ELO album was heavily influenced by the new wave/synth pop vogue of the early Eighties
