All this talk of "pretend" mellotrons (I refer to the 400 "box" not the
samples) and sequencing has got me a bit worried now...

So are they really good or not? (Jimmy - I presume if you've seen them 4
times they must be ok!).

I've got 6 people lined up for the Sheffield gig, (total about £100.00!) and
I don't want to get lynched - for that money I think they'll be expecting
something fairly special. (I'm not suggesting we would be put off by the
samples)

BTW why do they credit Pierre on their website if they don't use the real
thing?
Was he involved in the Pinder CD?
