And John - I haven't looked up your links, but "Sant" (and sometimes "Sain") is Welsh for "saint" - and the saint was "Tathan" - and Sant Athan is a corruption of Sain Tathan - but that happens so often here.

I may be wrong Mair but I thought you were inveigled to post here by another UK fan possibly the missing Gaby? but I see no evidence in your list of posts. perhaps it was somebody else from that Welsh place.
Now 30 years ago means you obviously presumably and unfortunately did not know about and missed Gord's last UK tour in 1981 (I luckily found out about and went to the May 18 concert in London but he was in Birmingham the following night easily said with hindsight and the internet!!!). It now seems highly unlikely that Gord will ever play the UK again, so you will have to do what myself, Bruna/silverheels,Jim Nasium, Alan (Paynter passing through) and Paul have done; save your Welsh gold and get over here there should be s full representation from the UK for the next Massey Hall season likely in May 2008
the feeling of being among so many like minded people en masse en Massey is truly incredible. so make it a firm resolution.I promise to try to remember to badger you from later this year onwards as well as tying to get some recalcitrant Aussie fans like catmanron off the pot.
Oh dear there I was blaiming some Welsh monk for corrupting the town name and it now appears it was an English one who got confused in the translation. sorry
