John Drevar's Expression

John formed his "Expression" which was linked to the much respected Globe Show fronted by Chris Shakespeare and both bands managed by Dave Jay. JDE specialised in soul, Tamla Motown and mod type music and the often changing line-up included former Earth Angels Derek Edmond (drms) and Melvyn McCrae (gtr) along with Colin 'Angel' Wilsher (bass) Geoff Vaughan (organ) and Keith Bennett (sax) the latter helping to knock out a terrific sound. Melvyn Day (EAs) replaced John for a short while with Bennett and Shaw previously featured with The Big T Show. Shaw was then replaced by Ritchie Hayes (ex Chris Shakespeare Movement) then Drevar moved onto the Globeshow whilst the remaining lads became the Inflatable Toy (!) minus Bennett. McCrae went onto the heavy band Refuge with Wilsher moving onto Joker then Tramp. Barry Palmer (Sax) joined Expression with Richie Hayes (keyboards) when Geoff Vaughan left the ever changing line-up!
