Other info such as a comprehensice discography & an almost-complete list of gigs
and if you click on the asterisks* a stack of flyers too

most live versions of small world experience included ian wadley on drums; the current (on & off since '96) line-up, with julian patterson on bass, performed most recently in March 2008, at a festival in connection with the IMA's "Brisbane Sound" exhibition

it is this line-up that recorded the LP "side projects" (chapter music) - and is currently working on another, due this year

these three also co-engineered and -produced all the early (ie. 4-track, pre-PC) minimum chips discography, since collected on the portfolio cd pat's membership of the final (ie. post-chris smith) line-up of the golden lifestyle band is documented on (2 tracks of) the wonder from a quarter acre compilation GLB also included stacca, who went on to drum in the new season, dion, of panel of judges ever since, and matt, whose last function LP for (chicago label) locust counted pat as a contributing memeber (as well as ian)
