Is Bob Skeet the same guy who went on to play bass with Wishbone Ash?

Not sure... but most likely is. I think I saw Wishbone Ash mentioned somewhere when I was researching Wild!

Correct spelling would prob be Bob Skeat (I wasn't sure how to pronounce it, I only wrote down what I heard in the BBC recording)

Was in Wildlife, Tina Egan Band etc, as well.
