Bev Bevan - born 25th November 1944

25th November is the birthday of the drummer and one of the original members of the Move and Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), Bev Bevan. His baritone voice can also be heard on some of their songs. Bevan also played with Black Sabbath in the 1980's.

His professional music career started with a stint with Denny Laine in his group Denny Laine and the Diplomats, then with Carl Wayne & the Vikings, followed by the Move in 1966. The Move was known for being the boost to fame for Roy Wood. The Move's highest-selling songs are "Fire Brigade" and "Blackberry Way".

The Move’s spinoff, Electric Light Orchestra, was formed by Bevan, Wood, and Jeff Lynne in 1970. During the 1970s and 1980s, ELO released a string of top 10 albums and singles, including the band's most commercially successful album, the double album Out of the Blue (1977). Two ELO albums reached the top of the British charts: the disco-inspired Discovery (1979) and the science-fiction-themed concept album Time (1981).
