You caught my post from a few weeks back which listed bandmembers by number
of gigs?  (Except for Dave, Nik, Simons H & K, Harvey, Huw, Alan &
Richard 'cause I can't count that high!  Interesting that everyone in that
group is in the current lineup except Simon K [retired], Nik [estranged] &
Harvey[?])

Counting by number of gigs was really interesting, since it skews "amount
of involvement" towards earlier members - Thom Crimble & Dave Anderson, for
instance, played nearly as many gigs in a year (or less) as Ron did in
nearly five years with the band.
