Morris Pert?
Fellow Arbroathian. To be found playing percussion for Kate Bush and TalkTalk.
… and Stomu Yamash’ta, and his own band Suntreader (their album is pretty good).
Jimmy Nicoll?
Transpires it’s Jacob Akkerman, Jan’s late brother. Pierre must have had other plans that day.
I wonder what they could have been? Perhaps he had a verruca. “Dear Mr. Akkerman, please exuse Pierre from music toda as I hav a varuka sined His Mum”
