   No doubt at some F1 event, perhaps Silverstone. Looks mid-eighties.

   It’s neither Eric Burdon or any Python. Could be Nick Mason though

   Starting from the left: Jeff Lynne, George, Terry Jones and… some guy.

   Not Terry Jones. Besides a Beatles fan this is also a Monty Python fan and it’s not Terry Jones.

   I think the third guy is Dustin Hoffman. The fourth might be Lyle Lovett or that guy from Simply Red. 😛

    I think the guy third from left is Eric Burdon, just like my alter ego said.

    @beatle ed: puleese ! looks nothing like Billy Preston. You were joking, right ?

    AS Tammy’s caption suggests, the 4th person might be Leo Sayer.

    I do not know the third guy, perhaps a F1 official ? Definately NOT any of the names suggested above

    4th guy definately english 70s singer Leo Sayer (now Sydney resident).
    He was (is) well known to be a formula 1 fan

    I saw Eric Burdon in concert in Sydney about the time of this photo, co-incidentally. He looked nothing like “mystery guy #3”

    I think I’ve solved the mystery man! He’s Herbie Blash…

    He’s thanked in the liner notes of George’s Cloud 9 which Lynne of course produced and there are pictures of him with Leo Sayer on the internet (completing the connection).

    I still say its Billy Preston – yes I’m joking Stephanie I didn’t know that Leo Sayer had changed his name to Sydney Resident though. Interesting (joking again!!)

    well… no one will see this comment now, everyone has moved on….
    less than 30 minutes ago I saw Leo Sayer standing by the side of the road in Glebe Point Rd, Glebe, Sydney, trying to hail a taxi.

    I should have offered him a lift and asked him abt George, and has he seen this Blog….??
