Added a link to guitarist Dave Ball's current activities down under. Dave explains, "I have been sucked into a blues auditioning exercise at a pub in Auckland. I lined up along with a variety of hopefuls looking to be part of a new Blues Band being formed here. The main thing for me was the fact that I could go somewhere and play. Anyway, we are repeating the exercise this week - Thursday 20 October. The Venue is the Empire Tavern on Nelson Street in Auckland City, time 7 pm. So anybody wanting to come down to listen will be most welcome. Free too!" He adds that the above link "exposes my current dress sense (in mitigation, I had gone straight from work)"! (thanks, Dave)

October 14:
Added an interesting Procol setlist from the end of the Old Testament ... but can the date be definitively established? (thanks, Eric)Mail between the UK and the USA seems to be unusually snail-like at present and this is affecting Palers' Project CDs; we have just heard from one US customer whose order took a month from despatch to delivery. Please be patient, folks: this is surely only a glitch. Orders in Europe and elsewhere are getting through swiftly as normal – albums are typically despatched on day of order.
Congratulations to Lickerish and their audience: the two gigs previewed at BtP raised a total of $16,000 for hurricane relief.

We are pleased to be able to commemorate this eighth birthday of 'Beyond the Pale' with a tribute to Barrie James Wilson (18 March 1947 – 8 October 1990), when a British music publication declared him, rightly, player of the month.

2004: a percussionist's analysis
of BJ's instruments down the years
2003: close encounter with a great
percussionist
2002: the Melody Maker profile
of BJ
2001: a BtP interview with
one of BJ's Joe Cocker band-mates
2000: a grand
picture outtake and Procol
rarities for sale
1999: a new
portrait of BJ and a
friend's tribute

If you want to go direct to the interview, click here: John's comments and a gruesome song run from 6.35 to 23.11.
