Our own Dick Heath's ALT2 Radio show Returns

There were even fall-outs amongst the family themselves over how the image and catalogue is handled so what chance has anybody else got of licensing tracks, really?

A somebody compiled a NIts sampler for me some time ago- must get it down and have another listen

Ian Anderson has mentioned Roy Harper as being an influence, I believe the two are good friends.

^ Bye Tony 

I'm here.

Apologies I'm late.

I am on MSN... but you're not there.

I think you've changed your address?

^They probably did, they came from the same mod scene. The Creation never really made it big and never even actually recorded a full album (rather like another band of the same era and scene called The Action), though they had and still have a cult following. Funniest of all, 'Painter Man' was later covered by- of all people- Boney M!

Oh... I need to read this Guardian article.  I usually read The Guardian but they do have a lot of crap in their too.

They do sometimes have good music articles though.  I remember seeing one by Jonathan Coe in there.

The guy sl*gged off VDGG and then in the comments section below the article admitted he'd never even heard them. I bet most of the journalists who lay into prog have never heard it. That is as bad as Rod Littles tirade against prog lyrics in the Times  a few years back, ...............using Brand X as his example.....

Do you mean Rod Liddell?

And I don't know Brand X either but I'm pretty sure they're an instrumental band.
