Does anyone know if it is true that Phil Suarez was the drummer on the 1970 Christmas no 1 'I Hear You Knocking' by Dave Edmunds? He certainly played with the band.

No, Edmunds played the drums himself. At the time, he was working as a producer, engineer and session man at Rockfield Studios.

From the liner notes of Edmunds' excellent 1994 best of compilation 'Chronicles': "He eventually re-emerged with a powerful remake/remodel of Smileys Lewis's classic I Hear You Knocking. The ultimate do-it-yourself job, Edmunds recorded and overdubbed everything himself - vocals, guitars, drums, the whole shebang."
Cheers. Liner notes are often invaluable sources of information that never gets recorded anywhere.Quote:

I think it might be - looks a bit too small for the Napier though.
Didnt he live in Splott at the time and then went on to be Deirdre's love interest in Corrie?Quote:

I know his Rockpile touring band was Edmunds, Billy Bremner (not that one!) on guitar, Nick Lowe on bass and Terry Williams (ex Man) on drums. I also heard that he was the brother of Geoff Edmunds the Cardiff estate agent?
I thought it was the Gower pub.Quote:
