Mark Brzezicki chats online in June 2001

On the Big Country's website

Surfers 'P' and 'Johannes' jostled with dozens of other Big Country fans to ask Mark about Procol matters:

MB
The Procol tour is going great. We are playing in Manchester on Sunday with an orchestra... our only English date

Johannes
Your name was spelled wrong on the Procol Harum tour poster in Copenhagen ... funny enough it was your first name that was spelled wrong ! (see illustration)
MB
On the Procol tour, everyone's name began with Matt or Gary but they spelt my unpronounceable surname correctly? I can't believe you know about this.

P
We know about the Procol tour because there's a Procol website at www.procolharum.com that monitors all their gigs and reports back in detail the minute they're done.

P
If you had the chance would you make another record with Gary Brooker and Procol? Is there new material around?

MB
Gary Brooker is always writing new songs and we have been playing some very rare tracks that some people would never have heard

P
Mark, can you tell us what you are going to be playing in Manchester and if there are any USA Procol gigs planned that you know of

MB
Gary Brooker chooses his set ten minutes before show time so we have to know all the tunes. The orchestra are in the same position as the band, they will get three days' notice.
