[kj] quiet

[pssyche23]

yes, I was thinking in similar terms the other day - considering The Gathering list was started in 1996 (I got a PC in 1998), folks here kept the embers smouldering for 7 years before the KJ reactivation - we've all had some great times following this bloody awkward lot - but (apart from Raven's tragic exit) things have turned out more amazing than any of us could have envisaged. 

I cherish all those times & look forward to many more, though wary that some element of succession planning may be required in the years ahead !!!

There is a project being discussed in relation to the singles but what that is has yet to be finalised. It could be one of many things. There is talk of a tour to support the latter whatever it may be.
