Rock 'n' Roll will never die... UK Satelite TV Sky Arts 1 broadcast schedule for "Chuck Berry Plays Avo Sessions" 2007 Jan 11th & 12th 2011 "Aged 81, the rock 'n' roll great, covered by everyone from The Beatles to The Rolling Stones and Elton John, performs his greatest hits at intimate sessions in Basel, Switzerland.." http://uk-tv-guide.com/show-times/775914/Chuck+Berry+Plays+Avo+Sessions/Arts/ ..me and my best school mate only learnt to play guitar because of the early 70s UK rock 'n' roll revival. We were 14 year old. He was buying his cheap tacky replica Teddy Boy clothes mail order from the back pages of the weekly music papers, I had hair half way down my back and looked more like a cross between Alice Cooper and the New Seekers.. Chuck Berry & Eddie Cochran literally inspired us to be guitar players for life.. Yes of course "my ding a ling" is shit, but we hope Chuck will still be tormenting us with it live on stage for at least another Decade..
