[Michael Garcia]

>From the MIsh site:


After months of rumour and speculation, particularly
here on the MWIS forum, it is with immense pleasure
that we are able to confirm that Simon Hinkler, The
Mission's original guitarist from 86-90, is to rejoin
the band for 3 or 4 songs or more per night at all
four of upcoming Shepherds Bush shows. 
In addition, Simon, who currently lives in New Mexico
with wife Debbie and son and who is known
affectionately as Slink, will be appearing at a number
of the mainland European shows also, exact dates still
yet to be confirmed.
