Ah. Check.
My humblest apologies.

BTW, can't say I'm overly chuffed about the "Love Symbol" himself
appearing on Kate's new album either. I think that he'd just be
totally out of place. What's he got to offer to her Kateness?

Clapton and Beck, on the other hand, I whole-heartedly approve of.
The Trio Bulgarka will be appreciated too--especially if they're
involved in another song like "Rockets Tale". Pity about Dave
Gilmour not being involved though--I always loved his work with 
Kate. 

Anyone know anything about all the other regulars?--esp. the various
ex-members of Planxty? Will they be on it?

Still though, it'll be great to hear some new Kate music after
nearly four years.

Owen
