The horns for the Pale Fountains were from Andy Diagram - later of James fame, at the time the album came out he was also playing for Dislocation Dance

Kenwright led Evertonians a merry dance for years from ring - fencing money for a waterfront stadium, that no future star players would be sold, even stories of Tesco investing £52 million to subsidise a new stadium. And this was 10 years ago nearly. The fans protested against the owners and...
