You do indeed have four clues and that is relevant.

Another four who sound like they could help you find the answer are Jimmy, Dave, Chalky and Spider.
A fifth might be Steph.

I suggest holding your nerve, Lats! Don't give any more away on this most intriguing puzzle (assuming it hasn't already been solved).
Some clever dick will be along by and by to solve it, fear not!

OK
Quadraphonic
a bit too technical for me
Pink Floyd - 1967 - first ever surround-sound rock concert - "Games for May"
experiment in radio surround sound - Cliff BBC concert ??
San Francisco radio station KKHI broadcasting SF Opera in 'compatible' quadraphonic format 1970's
still not sure about Sir Harrison .................Comment

OH good man mercs...
Quadraphonic!
A Cliff Richard concert by the BBC was broadcast in quad...
Chronometer by Harrison Birtwistle wsa the first classical music piece written in quadraphonic sound.
From 1971 to 1979, San Francisco station KKHI broadcast the regular Friday night performances of the opera on AM and FM (in multiplex stereo with quadraphonic encoding).
And fourthly: In 1967 the rock group Pink Floyd performed the first-ever surround-sound rock concert at “Games for May”, a lavish affair at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall where the band debuted its custom-made quadraphonic speaker system

Harrison Birtwistle’s Chronometer – a taped piece of electronic music released on DualDisc [SAM 0801] – is at the boundary of what many people would choose to call ‘music’ at all. It comprises numerous processed sounds recorded from different timepieces and was composed for quadraphonic replay.
EDIT - lots of simultaneous posting there

Yes. Very well done Mercia and Caliban. The connection is quadrophonic sound.Originally posted by mercia View Post
An early noted example was a BBC concert featuring Cliff Richard.
Another was the broadcast by San Francisco classical music station KKHI of the San Francisco Opera in matrix encoded quadraphonic format.
The third is Birtwistle's "Chronometer". As I said, time was ticking, or words to that effect.
Perhaps the most well known example of quadrophonic sound featured Pink Floyd. In 1967 they performed the first-ever surround-sound rock concert at Queen Elizabeth Hall. The band debuted its custom-made quadraphonic speaker system.
This was my fourth clue. It was not one of the original clues as it would have made the question too easy.
The four clues, rather than the original three, are relevant because the sound is quadrophonic.
Another four who "sounded" like they could have helped you find the answer were Jimmy, Dave, Chalky and Spider. You have correctly referred to them as characters in a film and the name of that film clearly led you to the answer.
I know you know the film but it would be good if you could confirm its title. Then the next question "T" is yours.
