Hi All, Apologies to those who are irritated by frequent short posts, but this is all I can find to say. Asm wrote: "So Isobel left. ... I can't help feeling that it's the beginning of the end for the band (although perhaps Stuart David's departure signalled that), but that's no bad thing - they've had a Brilliant Career. My hope is they'll release one more blinding record (featuring The Magic Of A Kind Word, Lord Anthony and Miraculous Technique) to rival the genius of the first three, and then call it a day." I have to disagree with his feeling "its the beginning of the end for the band", as I am confident they will take Isobel's departure in their stride & move on - who knows, it might even allow other band members to reveal more of their true talents. B&S may well change, but that change could just as well be for the better. I also doubt a "proper" release of TMOAKW, in view of what Neil said two days ago in another place (where all the information seems to be), i.e. "It's worth noting that the one that goes "Hey cut me loose", Magic Of A Kind Word, was written solely by Isobel, so it very probably doesn't tell you anything about the future. I also can't see any way it will be released now." What else? I found out today that Looper's gig at Cargo later this month has been cancelled. Bummer, not only because I would have liked to have seen them, but then also because the greedy bastards only give you the face value back, so you still end up paying loads of money for booking fee & postage. Are the other dates still on? Does anyone know the reason for the cancellation? Was it poor advance sales?
