[quote name='2pods' post='885883' date='Jul 4 2010, 10:08 PM']AFAIK John Peel was drafted in to mime the mandolin part on TOTP, 'cos of a MU rule about actual players being represented, or something. I think little Ronnie used Tony Zemaitis custom jobs, as did Ron of the six string variety plus his usual Fenders.
I've played it hundereds of times, and still enjoy it's loose, laidback feel, which after all, is what Rod and the Faces were about.
It's like "Stay With Me"..great intro, even better outro with solos all 'round, and that bit in the middle

I think Ray Jackson of Lindisfarne did the Mandolin job on Maggie May and he just got session pay for it. perhaps WOT might know a bit more.
