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.

I think with my old eyes, I can see Dave Seed on Flute, you can hardly miss the reflection from his Bins.

Talking of cats....
Percy Shaw invented 'Cats' Eyes' by looking at the light reflected from a cat's eye.
Had the cat been walking away from him, he would have invented the pencil sharpener...
