We began by playing the chords on keyboards and looking at the bass line, then we divided up the instruments to make a band version. Hope you like it!
We also tried At The Hop by Danny and the Juniors which works perfectly with exactly the same backing. This is because it is a 12 bar blues and there are hundreds, if not thousands of songs that use the same underlying chord structure.

You can read student comments on the performance in the Forum.

See below for the original version by Bill Haley and also a fabulously laid-back version from 1979 by Telex.
