Just uncovered some incredible VHS footage of my dad, Tony Sandy, and Bobby Harrison — original drummer of Procol Harum (who recorded A Whiter Shade of Pale) — being interviewed by Finnbogi Marinosson about Europe coming to Iceland in 1986.
At the time, Bobby was working alongside my dad through their company, Split Promotions.
They’re clearly having a great time — at one point my dad even shaves the presenter’s beard off on camera. He was also a hairdresser (trained personally by Vidal Sassoon at his King’s Road salon in the 1960s) — another story for another post.
This tape is full of interviews and backstage moments — including A-ha, Boy George, Bonnie Tyler, Meat Loaf, Nazareth, The Men They Couldn’t Hang, and The Dubliners (and more).
More to follow.
