Wish You Were Here theme (and a load of Central TV continuity announcements). You find the strangest stuff no You Tube!

Nice one Trevor, especially Pebble Mill at One, takes me back. As an aside and this might be better aimed at you Gordon, were you and Martin Taylor both playing relatively inexpensive Yamaha guitars? maybe a promotion thing? or am I barking up the wrong tree?

I'm afraid not they were almost the top of the range at the time.
All laminate construction but sounded good plugged in.
For the life of me I can't remember the model number!
I think it was an APX 20 or something similar.
Be well.

Re: Gordon on the telly...
Top of the range Yamahas AND with the Yamaha's most advanced guitar to midi hardware and software included if I recall correctly.
I remember how interesting it was watching you and Martin on that tour complementing each others' playing not just through your different acoustic guitar playing styles and approaches but also by adding synth, string and pad textures behind what each of you were playing. It certainly added another interesting texture to the music - tho, it must have felt a bit like trying to play the guitar while driving the Starship Enterprise up there on stage sometimes!
As an aside, Gordon, when I was casting arounf YouTube there were a couple of videos that I recall seeing a while back but I couldn't, for the life of me remember what the show was. There was a late night comedy/sketch magazine show on ITV (or one of the other commercial channels) where you contributed some musical interludes - playing tunes like Heartsong, Lucifer's Cage and The Lord's Seat.
I seem to remember that it was presented by a young comedy duo - in the style of "Adam and Joe" but I can't for the life of me remember who they are or what they were called. Mind you, must be 10(?), 15(?) more(?) years ago. Ring any bells.
Oh, and I always live in vain hope of someone unearthing and posting on YouTube that Fear Of The Dark musical special that you and the GG Band recorded around Tintagel for TV SouthWest back in the 70s... Cosmic!
