The BBC weather presenter and charity fundraiser on his pop music dreams and why he always resisted putting ‘a lid on it at all’
He went viral after filming himself drumming to the BBC News theme tune during lockdown and raised a record-breaking £3m for charity, but the weather presenter Owain Wyn Evans says none of this would have been possible if he had listened those who advised him to tone down his personality earlier in his career.
Evans’ “drumathon” became Children in Need’s most successful 24-hour challenge on Saturday. The BBC weather presenter was joined by a chorus of 50 drummers as he played for an entire day and night, with five-minute breaks every hour.
