        I'm really not sure there are. I know of one more who'd actually
admit it, but who wasn't there, I don't know why, and a couple of people
whose interests take in some of this sort of stuff, and also slackec off
elsewhere despite my best attempts to persuade them. Pah. Cambridge
suffers from musical apathy at the best of times but in this area of music
there's not really that much difference between apathy and full
participation.

        Of course, there's a bunch of crusties who'll always come out for
the Ozrics and Nik, and possibly even the actual Hawks, but I have tried
flyering these people for Bedouin and they won't leave their houses for
anything they don't know already as far as I can tell. I don't know at
what point they stopped looking for the new stuff... Yours,
                                                            Jon
