I have it in mind that they've been over to Europe, at least, in the recent past -- possibly including the UK -- though I haven't really paid close attention!

 	I don't think they've been back since 2013, when I did in fact 
catch them at Banbury with Andy Gilham. But how did I find out about that 
gig? Ralph kindly posted a notice here... The trouble with webpages is 
remembering to check them. I used to have this with Man or Astroman? in 
their first incarnation: I would remember to check about once a year and 
it was always a month after they'd played London. (I did finally catch the 
revived version of them in Lausanne last year and they were great, I do 
recommend them live.) Since then I've taken to doing it with Farflung 
instead, whom *some day* I will see dammit. Push media are better than 
pull media for this, but that really means Facebook and there are so many 
reasons why not... Ah well, I'm trapped by my own prejudices I guess but 
as it is I wind up seeing the few bands who are old-school enough to 
maintain a mailing list still. The actual solution is probably 
songkick.com, and I need to get round to sorting my account there out... 
Yours,
 	Jon
