"Brian Bennett is an English drummer, pianist, composer, arranger and record producer of popular music. He is best known as the drummer of the UK rock and roll group, The Shadows. In 1967 Bennett released a solo album of jazz music called Change Of Direction in mono and stereo (neither charted). This was the first solo album by a member of The Shadows.In addition to his work with the Shadows he is also a prolific composer, particularly of soundtrack music for films and television programmes, including The Ruth Rendell Mysteries and Pulaski. He also appeared in Cliff Richard's backing band and plays piano and occasionally vibraphone. Brian has worked alongside similar musicians such as Alan Hawkshaw. Two of his most famous works were "The Journey" and "Just a Minute", used for the ITV Schools on 4 broadcasts between 1987 and 1993. He has composed many popular TV theme tunes including BBC's Rugby Special (Holy Mackerel), sitcoms Robin's Nest and Birds of a Feather, New Tricks and Murder in Mind. Probably one of his most recognisable themes is the BBC Golf theme ("Chase Side Shoot Up") and also "Holy Mackerel" as the BBC Two Rugby Special theme tune". -Wikipedia
