A big part of mid-70’s Hawkwind, I saw him with Bowie on the tour that was basis for the Stage album, and he was all over Lodger the following year.

From his earlier band, High Tide…

I knew his name, just couldn't place from where. Per that Wikipedia article, probably from Japan, David Sylvian, and Thomas Dolby.
But also, now I know who the guy on violin on all those late 70s Bowie videos is!
