In case anybody is interested...

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band (That's what they are Still calling
themselves!) Are still doing gigs occasionally and have released a live CD.
It's basically the Mckenners, Zal and Chris Glenn with a new singer (who's
excellent) but doing all the old AH songs. I saw them a while back in Camden,
London and they were really good, opening with faithhealer and
running through a 90 minute set concluding with (surprise surprise) Delalah.
If you get the chance see them.
