[kj] Tour drummer will be Ben Calvert: FYI

[folk devil]

You'd think a founding band member would deserve a little more respect....or at least an equal share.
Does Jaz also dish out different job descriptions. Maybe Paul would earn more if he made the tea, and provided the skins?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Big Paul was ready to rejoin the fold some years ago (possibly as long ago as Pandemonium?) but turned it down due to the paltry sum of money he was offered for the job.

I remember there was a kerfuffle on the 2003 tour with some members of the band on different pay arrangements to others. You'd think though with the original line-up back together they'd have put that nonsense behind them. It just doesn't seem right. Maybe in a democracy some members are more equal than others (and pocket all the dosh for their lousy production!). Will we ever really know the full story? Probably not.

A bit disappointing isn't it?
Funny how 2 members seem to be ok financially and the other two not so. 
I know there are lots of outside influences but I just wonder if bigger games are not played?

Pleased it's Benny, but disappointed by the way BPF has been treated. Surely the millionaire hippy could've sorted him out if he really cared about the band and the fans.

No surprise because I met him quickly backstage at the Royal Festival Hall....

BPF "should" record the new album but the main reason of not playing the North US tour + Festivals is purely an economic reason : how could you live by gaining only 3.000 euros for a whole european tour when you are 50' ?
