[Slowhand] an unexceptional British blues-rock band

[Brooz Slowhand]

And to add insult to injury, on Dec. 30, NPR's All Things Considered ran a 
story by Tom Moon called "Warner Music's Sale Ends An Era," a decent report 
for the most part, but I have to differ with his description of the 
pre-Nicks Fleetwood Mac as "an unexceptional British blues-rock band."

STOP PRESS.....PETER GREEN "LEAVES SPLINTER GROUP "...US TOUR CANCELLED, NEW
ALBUM & EUROPEAN TOUR THREATENED.

LAST WEEK A LETTER FROM PETER GREEN'S LEGAL GUARDIANS, THE PUBLIC
GUARDIANSHIP OFFICE, AND APPARENTLY SIGNED BY PETER GREEN, WAS SENT TO THE
OTHER FOUR MEMBERS OF SPLINTER GROUP, TRANSMEDIA742.NET, AND LPO, THE BAND'S
EUROPEAN AGENT. THE LETTER ANNOUNCED PETER'S INTENTION TO RESIGN FROM
SPLINTER GROUP WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT. AS ALL OF THE BAND MEMBERS HAD, OF
COURSE, BEEN ON TOUR WITH PETER SINCE OCTOBER 22ND, TO SAY THAT THIS
ANNOUNCEMENT CAME TOTALLY OUT OF THE BLUE IS A HUGE UNDERSTATEMENT,
ESPECIALLY AS HE HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE AMERICAN TOUR AND RECORDING
PROJECT WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM. THE CONFUSION OVER THE SITUATION WAS FURTHER
COMPOUNDED WHEN IT BECAME CLEAR THAT PETER WAS NOT AT HOME ( HE STILL HASN'T
BEEN CONTACTED ) AND THAT THE PUBLIC GUARDIANSHIP OFFICE WERE NOT PREPARED
TO DISCLOSE HIS WHEREABOUTS. ENQUIRIES TO THE P.G.O CONFIRMED THAT PETER
WOULD NOT BE TAKING PART IN THE AMERICAN TOUR WHICH WAS SCHEDULED TO START
ON JANUARY 21ST, AND THAT THE TOUR WOULD THUS HAVE TO BE CANCELLED. THE FATE
OF FUTURE PROJECTS SUCH AS THE "BLUES DON'T CHANGE 2" CD AND THE PROPOSED UK
/ EUROPEAN TOUR FOR APRIL / MAY 2004 IS STILL UNCLEAR.

FURTHER DETAILS WILL BE FORTHCOMING AS SOON AS WE HAVE THEM, SO KEEP
WATCHING THIS SITE....
