[Jane R]

I read somewhere that no names appear on the Ghostwriters first CD because 
the record company thought their might be a backlash from fans of the Oils 
thinking that Rob was leaving the band and branching out on his own.  I 
think Rob reluctantly agreed to his name not appearing.  However it is good 
to see on Fibromoon that it says "Rob Hirst and the Ghostwriters". Feels 
like it was Robs way of saying stick it up your ar*e record company!!  Well 
done Rob.

Jane.
