Birth year?
[edit]It says Mr Robertson was born in september 1956. This would mean that he was 16, possibly even 15, when recording his first album, released in april 1973. I've heard pieces of that album and that doesn't sound like a teenage boy. He also doesn't look like it on the cover, sporting a full beard and moustache. Elsewhere online, I've seen 1948 or 1949 as his year of birth. That would make more sense, but, truth be told, 1956 is the most widely cited of all. That may be just sources copying each other. 37.74.56.154 (talk) 09:43, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Cockney Rebel
[edit]The article says he played keyboards on Top of the Pops behind Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel; the linked article says he appeared with Steve Harley on TotP, but as a member of a pick-up band, put together to appear with Harley as a solo artist, and specifically not as a re-formed or re-constituted Cockney Rebel; that band had previously broken up, and Harley played all the instruments (bar drums) on the studio recording of the track. So Robertson played (or leastways for the purpose of being on screen, appeared to play) with Harley, but not as Cockney Rebel. Or was there an earlier appearance?
