Hi Ron,

Maybe you can clarify. Is Simon Lees the guitarist now, or have they gone 
back to John Thomas again (he was playing at Letchworth a few years ago, 
then I heard about this Simon Lees guy? Even though it's not Tony Bourge 
these days I'd definitely check them out live again if it was NOT John 
Thomas. Any info?

Cheers

Si
