And look at the avalanche of media attention that resulted in... less relevant than Metro! Was anyone else wondering why the chap from The Honeycombs posted? The gist of it seemed to be "Good work, top marks, but why bother". I’m pretty sure that the mention of Popular in The Times was by me.

Terry Widlake, a former member of the Overlanders, posted to say hi to Waldo, who went to school with the son of another band member, Laurie Mason. On the same thread Marcello noted that Joe Moretti of Chris Farlowe’s band had posted on the “Out of Time” thread and that Mitch Murray had taken issue with Tom’s verdict on “The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde”. Then we also heard from a close friend of Peters and Lee who runs their website. Any more you’re aware of, Tom?
