Being a drummer myself I finally remembered to ask Barry Keane after the Aurora show about the woodblock part in "Restless" if it represents a woodpecker ( it is a back to nature type of song anyway, so I thought it was a logical question.

He replied, "Yes, that's what it is." (In all humility - I just knew I was right.)

If you're not familiar with the part, it is toward the end of the verses when you hear 8 quick clicks.

This may be a common-knowledge bit of info. on Corfid, but I've never seen a thread on it.
