So it's farewell then to Garreth Hicklin. We'll remember the bright yellow van, the kite flying, the world's heaviest flight case, the wooly hat, the quick fag just before we were due to go on, and the fact that everything was "no trouble at all." Most of all, we'll remember his singing, good humour, technical wizardry and that twinkle in his eye. He came to the audition with his dad and raced through the three songs, clearly head and shoulders (though not literally) above the rest; then he asked if we wanted to do any more. There was even a version of Wasted Time with him on piano.

It's been a great couple of years, there have been some fabulous gigs and we've had a lot of fun, so we'd like to wish Garreth all the best in his new band - the Illegal Eagles - and look forward to seeing down the road somewhere.

Cheers Garreth,

Colin, Alan, Jay, Paul, Rob and KD
