Rare to find footage of Tony Jackson performing solo rather than when he was with The Searchers, but you can view the performance of his second solo single here

Actually thinking about above , is that not a Rickenbacker in there. Also had this been credited to Searchers it would have been a hit in my view.

Yes it is indeed a Rickenbacker, Roy being played by Ian Leighton (Ian Buisel).
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Link is dead now, because YTube took the video down. I did however, use a portion of the performance in these two Searchers videos I made:

Lovely song. One of my favorite Searchers tunes.

Those earwig-styled Burns guitars are a hoot. Looks like they're playing giant dung beetles.
