Looks like Andrew Deacon (Violin) and possibly Sam Elkington? (Violin) and Carrots Reynolds at the back? (Horn) 'literally!'

Other names are Julian Vernon Ludbrook (next to Jay) and Ray Edwards (cello), Clive Hardy (next to Gaz) and Mick Blandbford. Think I was on that trip, might have been in the bar that night.
