        I thought that Moorcock's beef was with Doug Smith, not the band
per se. The usual matter of non-payment for something or other. But I
can't remember where I heard this so it may be wrong. Either way it would
explain why it was solvable.

        At the Hawkestra Nik said that he'd asked Moorcock to do phone-in
vocals but Moorcocok had said he didn't think he could afford the phone
bill. I couldn't work out if this was Nik taking the piss or Moorcock
politely staying on one side of the struggle. Or OzIT being cheap and not
paying him for it I suppose. Yours,
                                    Jon
