I was wondering if anyone had ever covered "Al Bowlly's In Heaven" - oh, yes indeed, and rolling into "The Very Thought of You"? Marvelous!

Great voice, of course, but any idea of the guitarist?

Richard Thompson (on acoustic and electric guitar) and Martin Carthy (acoustic). The other musicians in case you may be interested were Danny Thompson on double bass, Teddy Borrowiecki (piano and accordion), Joel Pescin (tenor saxophone) and John McColgan (drums)
