That post (and mine) referred to 2 spam posts about essay writing which appear to have been removed.

There are no commas in their name. It's not spelled that way.

Yes they've worked hard to get a position of almost being noticed by non prog fans. It could be an opportunity to come up with a really stonking album that beats anything they've done to date.

If only they would now join forces with Steve Hackett... I think it would be the perfect collaboration. |

Sad for sure. It will be hard to replace him, if not impossible.

Hi, I don't know ... I kinda think that these guys are going off to the sunset to smell the roses and enjoy a little life ... but Andy? He'll probably leave some lyrics in his box! As much as I like XTC and have like 10/12 CD's ... I don't think we are gonna find another massive great album that had material as good, or better than what we got in the 80's and 90's ... mind you, I would love it and be the first one to buy the new CD ... but I would rather these folks enjoy their time in the pub and have a good laugh and be great friends for the rest of their time ... and if a song or two shows up ... we can have a party!

So, will it just be Big Train now?

The cancellation of the US tour, Rosfest etc. couldn't have come at a worse time for the band after their rise after the Grand Tour album release and tour. I think BBT need a lot of TLC at present, and Dave leaving is a blow, but I really hope they can kick on by the end of the year. They are pure quality! |

The US contingent grows although unfortunately this is a almost 'non news' as the shows he was going to play in America have all been cancelled (officially postponed but as Nick says , rescheduling a 12 piece band is no easy thing). As with most things in these depressing times we can't expect much of anything to be happening for a long time.

Guess the Train left without him.......... Saw Randy open for Pineapple Thief, excellent musician and guitarist. I bought his CD at the show had him sign it also.

Very sad indeed. His unique guitar sound will be missed.

I had always hoped that Gregory, Partridge, and Moulding would get back together.
