Here's one of Big Jay's many TV appearances while he was touring Australia in June 1991 - this one on the Channel 10 (Sydney) show called 'Till Ten" and playing in a duo setting with Dave Brewer from the Mighty Reapers.

    Amazing! I love this song and excellent performance from the Sunday show on 9, when commercial tv was great. It was peak Continental Bob and you are so great on the guitar Dave. I loved you and Samila in the Catholics as well. I remember being in a Potts Point nightclub in 1986 and through the smoke haze and over the heads of the crowd I saw a sunglasses clad Continental Bob appear through the doors with an adoring attractive girl on each arm. Bob surveyed the raucous scene and departed with companions. Cool beyond description! Thanks for the music guys ❤
