Belle & Sebastian announce the departure from the band of cellist and singer Isobel Campbell. Isobel, who has been a member of the band since 1996, returned home mid-way through the band's recent US tour. The split was amicable, and it is true to say Isobel will be missed. None of the band's current commitments will be affected, and there are no immediate plans to replace Isobel. *** cheers, katrina. banchory press - management - merchandising po box 25074 glasgow g2 6ld scotland email: shop@banchory.net http://www.banchory.net http://www.belleandsebastian.co.uk/home +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
