I think that was probably John Hawken, But it could be that Hawken left at some point after Ghosts so could have been him I suppose.

I was thinking of the fellow from Canbridge who did Drakes orchestrations and later joined Strawbs.

I only really know his Nick Drake work, but it was beautiful.

He was going to be participating in this:
http://www.brightondome.org/events/Way-To-Blue---The-Songs-of-Nick-Drake/3422
an evening of Nick Drake material - 
guess he won't be able to make it now :(
