RICHARD BRUNTON info

Fantastic guitarist, there isn't many info about him, so I just put here what I know. He's superb, and I can't understand why he hasn't got more recognition; but this happens too often...

He played with Gerry Rafferty's live band, after having played in some of Gerry's albums. This is one of the fantastic lineups of Gerry Rafferty band. This must be near 1980:

Gerry Rafferty (vocals, keyboards)
Richard Brunton (guitar)
Mo Foster (bass)
Ian Lynn (keyboards)
Raf Ravenscroft (sax)
Liam Genockey (drums)
