I wondered why he'd do a tribute song about Steve Harley.  Harley Davidson maybe!  Anyway a quick look on his Wiki page and it turns out he's from Deptford and his mother was a jaaaz singer a-ah!  He was also a busker in the Underground (woo-hoo) and Portobello Belle Road.

Guy played briefly with Cockney Rebel, which was Steve Harley band.

"Sebastian" is a beautiful and touching song.

Have you all listened to the song, the GF version?
I did, and I am seriously wondering who's playing guitar on it.
Slide-guitar is mentioned in the credits section, but the electric guitar?
Is that Rick Driscoll as well?
Sounds like a heavily inspired style by someone we all know.

Probably Guy himself.

Rick Driscoll apparently ex of 70s group Kenny (no, me neither), and one time Cockney Rebel member:
