	I saw them once, a long time ago (nearly ten years), and can 
agree that actually they were pretty good. Far tighter than you'd expect 
a didgeridoo-based band to be. An offshoot of Magic Mushroom Band I 
believe?

	I think my position here has to be "I love to talk, if there's 
anything to talk about"...

	If anyone *does* know where Doug Pearson is, I'd appreciate 
hearing from him, actually.

	These days are good days for gigs in London and nearby; Litmus 
on Sunday, Motorhead and Clutch in Cambridge on 16th, and, I have just 
discovered, Acid Mothers Temple and the Melting Paraiso UFO on the 19th 
in London. It is, as I once saw on a banner at an Ozrics gig, "all good 
mate". Yours,
