Right, we all know many musicians are linked to the most unlikeliest of bands and musicians, whether directly, or indirectly, so here is a game that may be interesting. I shall start it off by asking you all to find a link between the following: Patrick Moraz and Micky Moody. There is likely to be many answers, so it will be interesting to see if someone comes up with the same one as I have. Also, links do not have to be direct, so for instance, neither of the musicians have to have played together, but they must somehow be linked. Once someone has found a link, they can then give us their own link to solve. -------------

By the powers invested in me by Mr Google I can safely say that both Patrick Moraz and Mick Moody first appeared together in the post preceding this one.
 I've found: Jackson Heights: Brian Chatton played with Micky Moody in Snafu; John McBurnie played with Patrick Moraz in Refugee...
or Colin Gibson has played with both of them, but not at the same time.
or is it "I" - Moraz released a solo album Story Of I and Moody's was I Eat Them For Breakfast
or it is simply that Moraz was in the Moody Blues?

Well the first one is closest. You're on the right lines with Refugee and Jackson Heights, but it needs some filler... I've no idea who Colin Gibson is, but that answer is sufficient for the purposes and so you can now have a go yourself. And my answers are not that obtuse, Dean! Here is what I had: Patrick Moraz was in Yes. Before Yes, he was in Refugee Also in Refugee were Lee Jackson and Brian Davison Jackson and Davison were former members of The Nice, but Jackson also formed a band named Jackson Heights Jackson Heights were on the Charisma Label, along with Van der Graaf Generator Keith Ellis of VdGG was a former member of Juicy Lucy Micky Moody was a former member of Juicy Lucy.
Also:
Davy O'List of The Nice, was a member of a fledgling Roxy Music Phil Manzanera, of Roxy Music formed Quiet Sun with Charles Hayward and others Hayward was later to join Massacre, alongside Fred Frith Fred Frith was a member of Henry Cow who did an album with Slapp Happy Peter Blegvad was a member of Slapp Happy and the drummer on one of his solo albums was Guy Evans of VdGG (as well as Manny Elias and Stuart Gordon, who have both worked with Peter Hammill) VdGG were on the Charisma label with Jackson Heights, who were formed by Lee Jackson, formerly of The Nice Jackson and Brian Davison formed Refugee, along with Patrick Moraz, before he went on to replace Rick Wakeman in Yes for the Relayer album. -------------

ok, what is the link between the following musicians: Nic Potter (bass player of VdGG, Peter Hammill, and The Long Hello) and Steve Swindells (keyboarder of Hawkwind in the late 70s)?

Potter played with Evans in VDGG, Evans played with Anderson in Amon Duul, and Anderson and Swindells were both members of Hawkwind.

Jawa - i.e. Nic Potter and Huw Lloyd-Langton backed Swindells on his solo album Shot Down in the Night. -------------

yes, and Simon King, Hawkwind's drummer, is also aboard on that album. Swindell's album is named "Fresh Blood" though and not "Shot Down in the Night". the album is so-so, by the way; the last 2 tracks "Figures of Authority" and "Shot Down in the Night" are definitely the best ones. the latter track also appears on Hawkwind's "Live 79" album ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.
