background:
For their
Empires And Dance 1980 tour, supporting
Peter Gabriel as he toured Europe, the band decided to swell their numbers
by temporarily borrowing Paul Wishart from Glasgow band Endgames.
Although he played saxophone (relieving Charlie of several instrument swaps)
suggestions that a flute would be nice lead to Jim's tongue-in-cheek
observation that it was all getting a little too Songs From The Wood.
longevity:
August 1980 - October 1980
recording/releases:
None
live legacy:
Empires And Dance tour
break-up:
Paul left after the tour and the band reverted back to a quintet.

mini-tour of the USA and Canada, probably after Paul had departed.
