the dubious pleasure of playing in the last amplified set at the far
from free festival @ Glastonbury in the Twentieth Century {Sunsnake

Mon. morning}. There is a bootleg cd to prove this & many many
witnesses.
Craig has written 3 & a half

arts directory called The Vulture & has recorded many cd's,
a sprinkling of vinyl and four solo discs under the name High Cigar.
He has also been a Clerical Officer for

The South East London Musician's Collective and has helped
organise many gigs and raves {both legal & illegal}.
Kiran is pleased that he has completed
many of the tasks laid out in the instruction manual that came with
him in his packaging when she made her purchase in one of the
subterranean cities beneath the surface of Mars. Only recently have
his sperm sacks been operating at their maximum production levels and
Kiran is pleased with the results after a period of uncertainty that
nearly led to him being returned to his makers with a very rude
letter of complaint.
