[edit]

Nearly all the information used to start this article was taken from an email exchange with Chris Parkinson in August 2007. There were also some notes on the sleeve of the album The Very Best of The House Band but not too much info from that source. I paraphrased and tidied Chris's notes to create this article. Thanks to him, and please edit with care and consideration! Thanks.

[edit]

The following unverified content ("Subsequent careers") has been removed on the grounds that it seems irrelevant to the subject (a group which disbanded in 2001) and is generally non-notable. However, I leave it here for consideration by others. I oppose the use of Wikipedia as a self-promotion medium for transient musicians. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 14:43, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
