Ah, for those interested in knowing... The three members rejoined Lindisfarne again in 1978, after four albums as Jack The Lad.

Appearing here, John Turnbull (guitar), Rod King (pedal steel guitar), Gary Taylor (bass), Tommy Eyre (keyboards), Graham Smith (violin), Andrew Steele (drums), Jon Field (percussion). 
Gabor Szabo Gabor Szabo is a superb jazz guitarist. This is a live album recorded at The Troubadour in Hollywood, California, and for some reason unknown to me, Tommy is featured as a guest in a track (the bassist Wolfgang Melz played with Mark-Almond, but not in the same period as Tommy). This was the live lineup: Gabor Szabo (guitar)

Dave Cousins (guitar, vocals)
Dave Lambert (guitar, vocals)
Chas Cronk (bass)
Rod Coombes (drums)
Mailto Correa (percussion) They had just lost their keyboardist John Hawken, so that's why so many keyboardists are guesting in the album: Rick Wakeman (keyboards, former member), Tommy Eyre (keyboards) and John Mealing (keyboards, from superb band If). Also featuring Jack Emblow (accordion), Tony Carr (percussion). A pity this album has never been reissued on CD

Halcyon days is a 2CD compilation, and it includes some obscure tracks, as well as their more famous songs (plus some songs from Dave Cousins solo album and songs from Hudson-Ford). The list of musicians is amazing. I'll only mention the members of my Olympus that play here: Miller Anderson (guitar), Nicky Hopkins (keyboards), Tommy Eyre (keyboards), John Hawken (keyboards), Blue Weaver (keyboards), Jon Hiseman (drums).

John Mayall One of the godfathers of white blues, I'm glad to know that he's still active, recording good albums, and performing energetic live concerts.

B.B. King A living blues legend. I've only been able to attend one of his gigs. At that time, he was 62, but he behaved like a child, enjoying while playing. After two and a half hours of endless performance, his musicians convinced him that he should finish the concert and leave the stage. He still wanted to keep on playing. :)

King of the blues is a 4CD boxset, comprising tracks from his very long career. So, the list of musicians featured is just endless. Tommy Eyre appears here because of the inclusion of the track 'Since I met you baby' recorded by Gary Moore with B.B. King guesting. Other musicians who'll be covered in my site someday are: Kenny Aaronoff (drums), Wilbur Bascomb (bass), Merry Clayton (vocals), Bob Daisley (bass), Martin Drover (trumpet), Cornell Dupree (guitar), Venetta Fields (vocals), Anton Fig (drums), Jim Gordon (drums), Wayne Jackson (sax), Jim Keltner (drums), Carol Kenyon (vocals), Clydie King (vocals), Al Kooper (keyboards), Russ Kunkel (drums), Michael Landau (guitar), Will Lee (bass), Andrew Love (horns), Hugh McCracken (guitar), Frank Mead (horns), Gary Moore (guitar), Dean Parks (guitar), Nick Payne (horns), Nick Pentelow (sax), Bernard Purdie (drums), Neil Stubenhaus (bass), Klaus Voormann (bass), Ernie Watts (sax).

People such as The Rolling Stones (with Darryl Jones on bass), Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Van Morrison, Tracy Chapman, or Paul Carrack, to name a few.
