This is a video of a band called the Senators...circa 1964. From all I can find on the web this is Bonham. What is interesting is how his visual style has changed.

I think that's Ray Columbus & The Invaders?

According to the discography Ray Columbus & the Invaders were a rock group from New Zealand. The band lasted from 64' to 66'. The drummers during that time where Peter Ward and Jimmy Hill. No Bonham. I don't know which drummer is in that video, Ward, or Hill, but it's not John Bonham.

Bass drum has "JH" on it. By John's info I'd say Jimmy Hill. ;)

[/COLOR]for the Senators by lester timmings The Senators were from Birmingham, England. Their single of She`s a Mod was released on Dial Records in 1964. Band line up : Terry Beale lead vocals and songwriter Trever MacGowan, lead guitar and backing vocals Graham Dennis rhythm guitar and backing vocals Bill Ford, bass guitar and backing vocals John Bonham, Unfortunately the Senators version didn`t get much raddio play and wasn`t a hit. However, the song was recorded by Ray Columbus and the Invaders from New Zealand, and became a huge hit across Australia and New Zealand in 1964 and afterwards. Other Versions of the song have been recorded since, and can be found on You Tube."

Just a side note... Ray Columbus & the Invaders were as I recall one of the first NZ bands to do well in Australia.. around 1964 they toured OZ with the "Big O"... as well as performing their own repertoire they were Orbison's backing band for the tour...
Cheers
