Anyone see the Tom Jones tv doc (bbc4 last Friday). Interesting, many small inputs from Marty, Clem, & from Bruce.
But I don't think the doc was particularly recent.

Is there any live footage available of Tom's concerts when John Rostill was in his backing band?

At an educated guess, the ATV series that Tom did in around 1969 and 1970 might well feature John Rostill, whose contract with the backing band seems to have been intermittent.

See: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063957/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1a

The series lasted over three seasons, from 1969 - 1971.

Looking at the "full cast and crew" reveals the name of Big Jim Sullivan and a L O N G list of guest stars and regulars - but no John Rostill.

This thread from 2018 may help to cast more light on the subject...

The post by Phil Jarvis includes a link to a backstage picture of Tom with John and Chris Slade.
