Special thanks to all these folk who worked so hard behind the scenes with such good grace ...

Another schoolfriend, poet Gerry Fradley served the longest as the band's road manager and monitor engineer, from early gigs to the end. A man of infinite patience and quiet wisdom. - Dave Chambers

Laconic and street-wise, Ralph Weller was road manager\sound man during their initial forays into Gig-land, with equipment that often required supernatural powers to work, and in vans that broke down, usually in Swindon. - Nick Murray
Ever-resourceful US Tour Manager - his contacts book and '60s Buick Skylark helped turn around what was shaping up to be a major disaster ... into a minor situation comedy. - Peter Lappas

Childhood friend of Poole and McGeeney, a guitarist with a fine country voice who'd gigged with Ross, and who helped out as road manager in early days.
