Er...no Paul Hayles. And Mick Slattery did not play.

Actually that's not true. What I said privately to one fan (who shall remain
nameless) was that they wouldn't be there. There was never any suggestion
from me that they were expected.

Again not strictly true - I did 4 gigs on that tour.

No malice intended from me, Jon. It didn't go unnoticed you were playing
Starfield during a previous mail...
