Mark Charig didn't play the cello on Red. In fact Sid Smith never managed to find out who played it, although he managed to talk to almost everyone else who has ever been involved with the band.

Right for once, it was a real piano played by John Wetton and not credited.

Lots of uncredited stuff on those albums - David Cross' flute parts, also to be heard on live stuff from the period (confirmed by DC, FWIW), Marc Charig's cello on 'Red'...
