Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey’s Interview with The British Broadcasting Corporation

The British Broadcasting Corporation is not your typical band. Comprised of four highly experienced musicians—Bob Cranham, Dave Williamson, Ben Keen, and Barry Cook—this collective brings a wealth of diverse experience and a healthy dose of self-aware humor to their craft.

Bob Cranham (Guitar & Vocals) is a highly sought-after guitarist and prolific producer with over 50 albums to his credit, including six Top 5 singles on the iTunes Rock Chart in 2021. His extensive session work spans genres and continents, showcasing his versatility and demand.

Dave Williamson (Bass & Vocals), originally from Aberdeen, boasts an impressive “Who’s Who” list of collaborations in rock, pop, and soul. His career has seen him share the stage with icons like Midge Ure, Beverley Knight, and Lisa Stansfield, among many others.

Ben Keen (Guitar & Vocals), described by his bandmates as an “accomplished guitar owner,” contributes his reliable presence and solid playing to the band’s sound.

Rounding out the rhythm section is Barry Cook (Drums, Cowbell & Bullhorn), a seasoned professional with over 40 years in the industry. Known for his consistent work ethic, Barry’s extensive touring history includes stints with The Drifters, Gloria Gaynor, and even ABBA tribute band Bjorn Again. His television and West End musical credits further highlight his adaptability and enduring career.

Together, The British Broadcasting Corporation offers a compelling blend of seasoned musicianship, diverse influences, and an undeniable stage presence.
