Roy Wood introduces Quill with Over The Hills And Far Away The Big Big Talent Show - Jonathan Ross

Roy Wood introduces Quill on The Big Big Talent Show with Jonathan Ross in 1997
The band perform Over The Hills And Far Away

[@lennylaa1686]

That's Joy Strachan with the top hat on vocals - I remember first seeing them at the Boldmere Pub in Sutton Coldfield
way back in 1983 but I think they initially set up five years previously. 14 years on, this here is a completely different
band line-up.
Fast forward another 20 years and they have the mighty Bev Bevan on drums....they are still going!

[@markdavies389]

Had some of the best nights ever at the Robin hood watching these.

[@highpath4776]

Roy Wood was always finding other groups and artists, some joined him on tour others he produced record releases for

[@apemoon1731]

I remember watching this when it was broadcast.
Quill used to play all over the midlands. Sadly, i never saw them.

The Three Crowns in Walsall. Used to love drinking in there, sadly closed now :(

[@pc3983]

I’m sure I’ve seen these at the Hunters Moon pub in castle Bromwich .

[@JCINWMENG]

Great Clip :-)

[@JamesCookComedian]

Lovely people. I was also on this episode. Wonder what happened to the other acts?

[@jacquelinecarty8579]

Grannies don't frighten that easy mi duck!

[@kevinhodgson8508]

Andy Edwards on drums here .

[@roxammon5858]

Used to see these guys at the Hunters Moon. I'm just wondering why they never made it big. Maybe they were not prepared to do the London circuit?

[@dazrochelle6035]

Quill ayit

[@michaelmccarthy3663]

Brian Tatler on guitar. He's only a legend

[@imfpredicts]

Thank you! I thought I was seeing things. A legend indeed.

[@rfurdaylee]

How things have changed. I remember when a legend was actually famous and you knew who he was. I wonder what The Beatles are then🤔

[@michaelmccarthy3663]

Check out Diamondhead

[@AbeFroman-zx5hs]

So what does that make Hendrix?

[@duncanwells2597]

This isnt the band Quill that played Woodstock, is it?

[@jimilove7773]

Ouch!

[@oscartravis5740]

Nice track but hard to top the Gary Moore version

[@micknordstrom2591]

[@manintheclinic]

Same band, but this is a long time before Bev joined

For 1997, this band are ridiculous. Late seventies maybe, but late 90s...come on!

[@JVsMusicalSoundscapes]

NOT the Led Zeppelin version :)

[@cc-xv6bc]

This band does absolutely nothing for me or maybe its just the lead singer.
