The young Stephen "Stike" Telfer pumping his elaborate bass figures into the Aftongrange Hotel's Function Suite. Stike's bass solos were like a testosterone explosion in a fannybatter storage facility. In the background guitarist Stewart Morrison wrings some noise out of his 1965 Fender Mustang copy.
