Bev Bevan of ELO had a white Premier with lots of concert toms. Kit was some time ago for sale (if I recall correctly and didn't overread his name here).

Just on Status Quo.... Last year they did a long running TV promotion for "Coles" Supermarkets (one of the 2 monopoly food chains in OZ).. Due to the saturation of this Ad, I think it is fair to say that we all had more than an overdose of Quo downunder...
However, as one of the headline acts at Bluesfest last year (and I am talking Major International acts)... It was without question, QUO that stole the show...
Here's a clip that many of you would not have seen...
Cheers
John

Great list!
Someone is bound to chime in that the new AC/DC drummer on a Premier Elite isn't Phil Rudd, but Bob Richards. Might as well be me! :-)

You're right, Posterboy. I misread 'PR' on his Premier Fronthead but it's 'BR' in fact.
