  • The duo concerts in the Netherlands took some fans by surprise: Brian Nelson in great shape after 3 months of Highland air, GT Moore in an extremely lively mood: hardly touched his acoustic or mandola but fired in on electric guitar in his usual attention-grabbing way. Classy. Some shouted "Yiehah", others "Vibrations yeah Positive": their mixture of folk, rock, reggae, country and traditional is really quite refreshing.
    The Wildeman in Oirschot is a great place. Mario liked the music and invited us all as guests to his fantastic house. On the way back we visited Eindhoven. From then on the car started to drive slower and slower. After dropping GT off, Brian finally made it home on 4 wheels, one melted...
    down to some silver under-layer. I never saw anything like it before! Riding with Lady Luck, I dare say..? (PS: That Antwerp ring was murder.)

  • So Gie Geus got called in (with stronger wheels) for the next gig, "Op den Trimp" in Aalten being near the German border. Willem and Yanni made us very welcome! (Nothing like some good old Scottish salmon!) Nice place, nice people. Go and visit them sometime!

  • Spring 2002: the recordings of a new CD are started in Ghent. Brian and G.T were not very happy with the results and intend to go back to it later on in the year.

  • In June 2002 Brian recieved an unrefusable offer to play a residency in The Shine Restaurant in the south of Turkey. The weather, the food and other gigs being great, he didn't return till September. G.T Moore being busy with his own projects for the moment, combined with the total lack of management, the duo gigs have ceased momentarily. Brian is now living on a boat, writing, and stays contactable for concerts. 0472924974.
