3. TRACY/CLIVE NOLAN TO TOUR WITH JOHN WETTON
--------------------------------
At the time of writing, we have news that Tracy Hitchings will be teaming up with Clive Nolan (who?!...) to support John Wetton on his tour later this year. More on this when we have it.

--------------------------------
4. LANDMARQ IN 'ROCK SOCIETY' SCOOP!
--------------------------------
The current issue of the Classic Rock Society magazine (#142, May/June 2004) features various mentions of Landmarq including a review and some rather nice pics by Robert Allen from the bands recent show in March with Nik Turner at London's Underworld venue. Sadly, the role of Landmarq bass player is credited to Pete Gee (of Pendragon) as opposed to Steve Gee (not of Pendragon). An easy mistake - often made...! ;)

5. THE SYN - NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED
--------------------------------
The new official website for The Syn is now up and running and includes a few photos from the recent sessions that included Landmarq bassist Steve Gee plus other info. Further items will be added in time. (Note: the above-mentioned CRS magazine also includes an interview with Pete Banks talking about the new Syn recordings).

6. GONZALO, THE TULL CONNECTION, AND OTHER STUFF
--------------------------------
Landmarq keyboardist Gonzalo Carrera now figures in the extensive Jethro Tull family tree, as documented in the book by David Rees, 'Minstrels In The Gallery' (Star Cluster, ISBN 3-925005-60-9), which chronicles the complete history of Jethro Tull.
Gonzalo's connection is that he played in the band 'Oak', (see his bio page on the Landmarq website), which was formed by Tull's own drum and bass, Clive Bunker and Glen Cornick.

Gonzalo can be seen with his 'other' outfit -- the Anthony Clayton/Siemy Di Group -- when they make a return appearance at the Underworld, London, on Sunday 6th June 2004. The band will be supporting guitarist Jan Akkerman.

Also, Gonzalo would like to announce more live dates for his Supertramp tribute band, 'The Logical Tramps', for later in the year. For more details go to the bands website:
