[kj] Gems Of Power

[Paul Rangecroft]

It doesn't sound right to blame Raven. The man was generous to a fault. He
even offered me money once when I told him I couldn't make it to a gig
because I was a bit skint. Jaz was pictured on the front, not Raven.

Not convinced by this but maybe it's best to let it go and move on. I'm
optimistic this next album will be as good as the last one. They're a great
band, just a bit chaotic.

It's disappointing the way Rob was treated about supporting them in Oxford,
it would have been fantastic, but support slots are valuable promotion and
management/labels call the shots.
