Colin Blakey - reeds,
Kenny Welsh - drums.

Some memoirs

Lyrics of OCEANS
Lyrics of MOTORCYCLE RAIN


Hi there, That'd be Seb (not Deb) Holbrook. I know most of the band and have seen them any times. Most notably supprting The Waterboys in 1989.
I've got most (or all) of thieir vinyl. Must mp3 some of them at some point. A great live band.

Well yeah. That's one The Company (and it is widely referred to as such), but I suspect it is not every The Company that Fintan refers to and is not the specific The Company (All Praise The Company) that sends me money every other week.

Well ... The Company (All Praise The Company) sent me to NYC for a week a month ago. But that's probably a different The Company (All Praise The Company) than you're thinking of.

I'm sorry, but under our new Industrial Relations Policy, we refuse to pay 'overtime' to our 'employees'. Your brain will just have to cope with its' meagre weekly stipend...
Signed,
The Company.

I imagine MacRua, who is on the computer all day at work, actually works for Interpol. And he has top secret clearance. So he could pick up the trail of the person who owed my boss's client a very large money judgment and left the country, last known address: South Africa. But perhaps my imagination is just working overtime.... :)
