here & now Alert!! Karma Kanix

[Captain Bl@ck]

I was talking to a member of the band last night about the infamous 'Tim
Blake Dumped At Hotel' episode - not to mention the slightly less well-known
but equally memorable 'Tim Blake Thrown Out Of Vehicle In Tottenham Court
Road' saga.

He recalls 'Twink' being Tim's synth roadie at the time.  This Twink was
definitely not the Pink Fairies John Alder.

He also remembers several heated exchanges 'post-sacking' regarding the
question of Tim getting his gear back, as it continued the tour without
him...
