I completely forgot about this will search for more info…
Mick appeared on the April 11 airing of the BBC’s Old Grey Whistle Test television program. While he performed three solo numbers including Play Don’t Worry and Angel No. 9, backed by John Turnbull on guitar, Geoff Appleby on bass, Blue Weaver on keyboards and Jim Toomey on drums, the slot was originally booked to promote the Hunter – Ronson collaboration about to kick of in the United States. Ronson filled in as a solo artist when Hunter found it necessary to return to the US before the scheduled appearance.

So, just by chance Ronno found himself in the limelight, that’s great!

Hi Lisa
I really wish there was someone out there that had a copy of this. I’ve been trying for sometime to track a copy down but without success yet.

Hi there, I contacted Bob Harris show crew some years ago to see if the footage was available. But had no luck. It would be great to see it. He’s wearing the same yellow and green top as when he signed an autograph for me in Birmingham, England.
