Silly Wizard broke up after their Fall 1983 tour. Last month Andy Stewart gave a concert in Pittsburgh, and he mentioned that they would all be getting back together. He didn't say whether this would be for just a single tour/album or on a more permanent basis, though. -Dragon -- UUCP: ...seismo!ut-sally!ut-ngp!lll-crg!dragon ARPA: monica.cellio@cmu-cs-cad or dragon@lll-crg

I spoke with Martin Haddon last night (he was playing here at Plowshares
in San Francisco with Jane Rothfield and Allan Carr). They've been on
tour in the states for 2 months, so this info is not quite up to date.
Phil Cunningham is doing well and playing keyboards again -- he still
has limited use of his 3rd finger, but the doctors say that he should
regain use of it eventually. His arm is in a soft cast.
And now for some even better news -- Silly Wizard will be doing a reunion
tour (including Johnny Cunningham) in the spring. They will be starting
on the West Coast at the end of April or beginning of May. There will
a new live album released at the same time (on Shanachie in the states).
Watch your local media for details.
And for you SF Bay Area folks who missed Haddon, Rothfield, and Carr last
night -- you missed a good show. Plowshares is currently the only place
in the Bay Area where you can pick up Jane and Allan's record "There and
Back" -- it was released in the UK on Robin Morton's Temple Records but
hasn't been distributed in the US because Temple-US accidentally used the
same catalog number for a different record. Also, Jane, Allan, and Martin
have recorded a new record that will be released in the spring (available
in the US on Shanachie).
