Thanks for the swift reply Rob. John Clark eh? Fantastic player.
Do you know if he's the same guy that played on Red Dwarf's title track?
I saw him in a concert with Cliff here in Bangkok about 5 yrs ago, and failed to take note when the name was annouced.
He's got great sound, nice style. He's there!

I must say, I find Cliff's band from the 1970's even better, with Terry Britten on lead guitar, Alan Tarney on bass guitar, Brian Bennett and Trevor Spencer on drums amongst others.

Sorry Steve, but this is Steve Laurie and not John Clark playing lead here.

Correct. In fact you can also see Cliff's other guitarist, Martin Jenner (sadly no longer with us ) in the yellow suit with the left handed guitar in the "Oh Boy " section.
John Clark has been cliff's guitarist constantly since 1980 until last year when an american rhythm section played on the " Bold as Brass " concerts and of course the Cliff and the Shadows tours had a different lead guitarist!!!
