And they say VDGG has limited commercial potential, very small following - but Paris Hilton, this is a gas

There is nothing like good self-advertising. However they are great news (the Benelux always liked prog, more than its motherland, UK).

And they do not exaggerate about the book, I've just finished it yesterday and it really is awesome, great background before their first gig in Poland (well, Peter solo has visited us once or twice, nevertheless great gift for my 30th birthday). You should have considered obtaining photo of infamous Alice, the Yoko Ono of the greatest prog act ever, or just provide us with her surname.

Enough flattering, Happy Easter to you, bucka001 and for Phil Smart too and don't worry being interviewed, you have done lots of it.

yet you still have time!

From Paperlate Radio (Netherlands):

"This sunday, at Easter we have a very special show. It will be aired live from 20.00 until 22.00 p. m. C.E.T on BRTO-Radio. You can listen to a webstream on our site www.paperlate.nl

Paperlate 513 will be completely dedicated to Van Der Graaf Generator who will be in Holland and Belgium next week. Main item in our special will be an in-depth interview with Jim Christopulos, one of the writers of "VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR-THE BOOK", one of the best rock-books ever! We're also digging in our archive to find the tape with the Peter Hammill interview we did years ago in Amsterdam. We want to include some parts of this interview as well."

I was contacted by the guy who runs the show about being interviewed about the book in a special dedicated to VdGG. After this, he also plans to interview Hugh (and possibly Guy) in Belgium next week for a second VdGG program.

Jim
