In our sixth tribute video to Ringo Starr, filmed during the Fest for Beatles Fans Symposium, former Wings drummer Steve Holley discusses meeting Paul McCartney in 1977, through his neighbor Denny Laine, and joining the band a year later. Holley talks about Ringo’s sound and the Beatles drummer’s influence on him, and then reminiscences about playing with Elton John and his experiences with reggae music before meeting McCartney. Smithereens drummer Dennis Diken then shares his passion for Ringo and the Beatles and talks about his band’s Beatles tribute album, Meet the Smithereens.
