        Below is the best I'm going to manage at a complete gig listing,
but it's probably wrong in numerous ways as I've reconstructed it from
saved mail and so on. For what use it may be to you, however, there it
is. The Harvey and Nik thing may well have been the US tour, I'd forgotten
about that. I don't need full gig listings for my purposes, though
Bernhard might; but thanks for the offer.

        Right then.

        Nik playing with Harvey on the Strange Daze tour in the US as
Stephe mentions...

        Right. XHawkwind gigs, I don't know if the line-up for all these
was as above (for a start I can't see any sign that Tree actually
played though he was billed to for at least the first) but they were at
least these:

20th Dec 2001 The Limelight Club, Crewe [advertised both as XHawkwind and
        Space Odyssey in different places]
18th May 2002 Yales Central Station, Wrexham
27th June 2002 Glastonbury Fayre [at which Nik is served with a writ]
19th July 2002 Guildford Festival

        <http://www.nikturner.com> suggests that there were also Fantastic
All Stars shows round this time but I can't find where.
