	Thanks for passing that on, Jerry, it's the sort of news these 
dark times need :-) For those that might have the albums of old but 
haven't looked, the personnel changes appear to be that the backing 
singers have been changed for a new set, and most importantly that the 
original keyboardist is now being impersonated by Alf Hardy of Tubilah 
Dog, Agents of Chaos, Paradogs and Earthlab. They've also added a second 
guitarist so it must sound a bit different all things considered. I 
don't suppose I shall make it to any gigs given where they're likely to 
be playing so the real test for me will be if they manage to record and 
release anything. Their previous two albums are still firm occasional 
favourites in my collection. We'll see, I guess, yours,
							Jon
