| And
in the press...
"Judd convinced Jeff Beck to appear on the BBC TV show 'The
Old Grey Whistle Test'. Judd was working on promoting Jeff's latest
album, 'There And Back', and Ernest Chapman had told him that Jeff
was willing to do selective interviews 'reluctantly'. Jeff felt
that his music should do all the talking. With this in mind Judd
arranged for Jeff to appear with host Annie Nightingale for an exclusive
interview. All the stops were pulled, press releases, promos etc.
for the show but then on the day before Jeff's management called
and said, 'Jeff can't do the show'. Needless to say Mr. Lander freaked
out, so the next day he got in a limo and headed down to Tunbridge
Wells with a set of bagpipes. On arrival, he took off all his clothes
and marched up Jeff Beck's driveway naked playing 'Hi Ho Silver
Lining' on the bagpipes much to the household's amusement. In the
end Jeff agreed to appear on the show provided that Judd did his
bagpipe thing live on TV! And sure enough that's just what happened
right in the middle of the interview - Judd could be seen walking
behind Annie and Jeff naked playing the bagpipes!"
