(Soon to follow...
Paul Hayles + band
Terry Ollis + band
Sam Fox + band
etc.)  :)

Not a bad start.  :)  Why not Tribe of Cro also??  They're 'part Belgian'
anyway.
And some of 'dem Sveedish folks perhaps also??  darXtar, Spacious Mind and
the like.

>The costs for us won't be to high.

Not counting the overseas airfare.  :)

Well, at least it's a bloody *good* idea, I'd say.

Will it really be named 'Strange Daze Europe' as if we Yanks (well, Jim
Lascko deserves all the credit) actually created something that would be
copied elsewhere??
I woulda thought it would be called something like 'The 2099 Party'. :)
