has some great Members stuff including an early Peel session well worth checking out.

Longy has also very kindly given me another 3 great shows and I have one more off my own which I will be posting very soon.

Keep up the great work appreciated. :-)

Great, thanks a lot. The Members still sound very very good. They are and were vastly underrated. Love their mix of one clean and one distorted guitar. Great songs, too.
