In this bittersweet clip from the 1969 Loxene Golden Disc Awards, Clive Cockburn is the sole representative of his former band, The Avengers. Having broken up just a few months earlier, the group were nominated for a Silver Scroll, which they won later that night for the lyricist David Jordan. Presenter Peter Sinclair introduces Cockburn as "The Lone Avenger", who takes to the piano and lip-syncs to 'Out of Sight Out of Mind' — fittingly, a goodbye song. It's a melancholic performance from Cockburn; an especially potent moment comes when the song swells with the pre-recorded backing vocals of his former, and notably absent, band.
