i am trying to track down my mother`s former boyfriend, malcolm postlethwaite, orininally from australia - he was a member of the band "the square set" who had a world wide hit in 1972 in south africa - we grew up with malcolm who lived with us until he relocated to australia in the seventies - i would like to know more about the man in the photograph as i`m not sure if it`s him as malcolm did wear black rimmed glasses but his hair was not combed back when i knew him - he did have a large mole on his forehead - hoping you can help
