The line-up may be reminiscent of the classic Procol Harum formation, but the band members' CVs read like a Who's Who of rock history: John Giblin has worked with artists such as Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel and was a member of Simple Minds; Henry Spinetti was Eric Clapton's sideman for many years; Tim Cross came from the new wave band The Adverts and was an integral part of the Mike Oldfeld Group; and Tim Renwick toured with Pink Floyd and David Bowie, among others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Giblin and Henry Spinetti had recently played together with Gary Brooker at a \"Rock and Classic\" event in Munich, where Tim Cross and Tim Renwick were also on stage with Mike Oldfeld.
