Million Pound Drum Contest
A scrap book clipping from Melody Maker |
On Sunday, March 20th 1966 at the Wimbledon Palais,
the prize was presented for the 'Million Pound Drum Contest' which had been
announced in 'Melody Maker' on January 29th followed by daily promotion on
Radio London until February 14th. From an entry of 2,700, Carol Offord's
'suitable station announcement' was selected to win Dave Clark's
multi-hit-making Rogers drum kit. Carol nominated her friend John Tillett to receive the prize. John and Carol today |
The hand-over from Dave Clark |
This is Carol and John's story, with a very happy ending What a
thrill to be reminded of those memorable days in March '66 when I won the
Dave Clark drum set with lots of help from Carol Offord. |

Very many thanks to John, Carol and John's son Gary, for taking the
trouble to share their great story and photos
