The Christmas show at the Speakeasy has been moved! It is now on Thursday 18th December. Unfortunately Linda(viola) won't be able to make the new date, but the legendary Rog Patterson has threatened to put in an appearance. Expect the usual Xmas frivolity! Admission free, show starts 8.30pm

Chris's Christmas Suggestions

1. World Turtle Wilderness Of Eden (of course). We're all out of Outtakes cassettes, but at £11.00 (inc p&p) for 72 mins it's still spanking good value. Orders dispatched next day so you've still time...
2. [Drowning Not Waving] ...look at it this way... The new CD from ex Big Chill guitarist Andy Bassett. Still got that classy 80s metal sound, but the writing shows greater maturity, with near prog epics 'drowning not waving' and 'waiting for the rain'. Features Roy McLeod on vocals & Jon Grainger on guitar. £12.00 (inc p&p) from Andy Bassett 156 Loxley Rd. Sheffield S6 4TE or email
3. Parallel or 90 degrees afterlifecycle. New Cyclops signings from Leeds. A great band with a potent VDGG influence. Mail order details from Cyclops Records 33a Tolworth Park Rd Tolworth Surrey KT6 7RL (0181 339 9965) email Cyclops or the band
4. Damian Wilson Cosmas. A delightfully unprog offering from one of the best singers around. Acoustic singer/songwriter material with piano & orchestral backing. £12 (inc p&p) from Classic Rock (UK) Ltd 47 Brecks Lane Rotherham S65 3JQ, or try Verglas Music PO Box 19 Virginia Water Surrey GU25 4YE

CRS Awards
Well, we made a dent in the Classic Rock Society awards this year! Wilderness Of Eden was voted 10th best album of the year and Paul & I got two placings each in best guitarist & best singer, and best bass player & best keyboards player respectively, plus a placing for World Turtle at about 17th in best band category. The promised interview is now scheduled for December's Wondrous Stories.

Mailing list/Newsletters etc.
