My thought exactly.

The ones with (a dark-haired) Jet, Tony and the late Billy Cotton (marked as 1961) must have been taken backstage at the BBC Television Theatre, Shepherd's Bush, in late February or early March 1963 when the duo appeared (with The Diamonds) on "The Billy Cotton Band Show" to promote Diamonds. Another Jet/Tony pic is labelled "1955/1959"!

In the first pic (also inaccurately labelled 1959), that's Keith Fordyce on Tony's left, isn't it?

Perhaps this was taken at Television House, Kingsway, in summer 1963 when J&T promoted Applejack on Associated-Rediffusion's "Ready Steady Go" and were interviewed by Keith.

There are some other interesting people in the pics with Jet & Tony: Joe Brown, Adam Faith, Eric Delaney...

Thanks for the links.
Really great to see some of the early days recorded on film. Will have to get my order in for some of the shots.
Anyone notice the "elusive" Gretsch on stage at NME Pollwinners concert?

The best selection of Shads' photos that I've seen.

I think Roberto Pistolesi licensed this pic (or one from the same shoot) for inclusion in his book.
