Went to see Tommy in Belfast Jazz Festival a couple of years before he died, he was performing with Spatz Langham, very memorable. I bought his his tape on the night, i've nearly worn it out!

Difficult to say if it is Paul Degville on guitar cause last time i saw him was at Tommys pub ,The Lord Raglan in Wolverhanpton when paul was a fresh faced slim 16 year old in 1972. But the guitar is right because he always used to play a semi acoustic.
