Neil Christian has crusaded all the way up the Fab 40 from #21 to #11. Nice! He was also doing well on the other offshore stations (see advert below chart). |

Neil Christian's offshore crusade was going well, as this advert for Strike distributors Selecta indicates. Roy Harper and The Deputies were not so lucky. (advert courtesy of Brian Long) |

On Sunday, March 20th at the Wimbledon Palais, the prize was presented for the 'Million Pound Drum Contest' which had been promoted on Radio London during February. From an entry of 2,700, Carol Offord's 'suitable station announcement' was selected to win Dave Clark's multi-hit-making drum kit. Carol nominated John Tillett to receive the prize from Dave. Carol and John tell their great story here.
