Other Music Links

Other music-related links

Planet Mellotron

THE resource on all things Mellotron. Andy Thompson has spent years putting together this site which includes a discography and reviews section of music featuring the Mellotron. You name it, it's there! Incredible!

Musical Peers Some of our musical comrades in the locality
Leni Ward	Leni is a talented acoustic singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist. She performs beautifully crafted songs with great stage presence.
Beneva	Beneva deliver memorable harmonies and skilled musicianship. With Malcolm on guitar and Nathan on the piano, they both sing to create thoughtful and lilting harmonies against a delicate acoustic backdrop.
Hobo Exile Hotel	'The hobos exist somewhere in the gap between Radiohead and Muse, only about 500 times more intense. They’re loud, stirring and heartbreakingly beautiful in their fragility'.

Venues Some of the venues we have played or will be playing
The Golden Cross, Coventry	Set in the heart of Coventry and the closest venue to the cathedral, the Golden Cross is the oldest student pub in the city and has a lot of character.
The Colosseum	Formerly the Tic Toc, the Colosseum has always featured some great live acts.
The Jailhouse	Situated conveniently close to the police station and law courts in Coventry city centre. Some good nights there.

Tribute Band Links When you can't see the originals...
Fragile	Oh Yes! It can be done! These guys are fantastic. If you're going to set yourself an impossible task, do it in style! A very fine Yes tribute band who are very much worth seeing. Check their website for news and tour dates.
The Musical Box	Whilst we're on the theme of tribute bands, The Musical Box do a mighty fine job of recreating the Peter Gabriel era of Genesis, complete with full replica stage sets, lights, and slides.
In The Cage	Another Genesis tribute band. This time UK based and covering the whole range of albums from the 1970s. An excellent live act, these guys are well worth seeing.

Influences Schminfluences Not necessarily BAiTesque, but we like 'em!
Genesis	A particular favourite of Nick and John during their Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett era, both Nick and John still manage to annoy Chris and Andy during rehearsals by jamming Watcher of the Skies or The Cinema Show. Smashing, super, great.
Yes	Websites devoted to John's favourite band (outside BAiT, of course), those pioneers and troopers of Prog - Yes. Featuring his review of a concert.
Jethro Tull	What to say about this band fronted by former Scottish Businessman of the year? Genius! Particularly splendid in their unashamed folk rock days.
Led Zeppelin	Purveyors of pounding rock. Mick Bonham (John 'Bonzo' Bonham's brother) saw BAiT in their early days as an all-original band. What a rhythm section!
Spock's Beard	A fine bunch of musicians, keeping the real music flame alive.
Rush	Another bunch of loony Canadians. A member of the Emmerdale cast on bass and a pen-wielding, motorcycling, philospopher on drums. Oh yes, and the typically often overlooked Alex Lifeson on guitar.

Miscellaneous
Car Companion	Web-based national car sharing scheme developed by our resident drummer. Well he likes to keep himself amused, you know.
Historic Coventry	Fantastic website presenting the band's hometown in pictures. See how Coventry looked before it suffered coventration in the Luftwaffe's Operation Moonlight Sonata on 14th November, 1940. Highly recommended, particularly the Now and Then section.
Ghostland	Progressive Rock resource page - news and links to all things prog - old and new!
Headway	John's wife, Emma, who suffered serious head injuries after a car accident as a child is a former member of this national organisation.
Coventry University	The hallowed hall of learning attended by Chris, Andy, and John (although not all at the same time).

Silly Links He's not the Messiah - He's a very naughty boy!
Wilf Lunn	Remember Wilf from Vision On, Jigsaw, Euruka, and other classic programs? Wilf is still busy making bicycles and other fantasic gizmos! Very funny site.
Reg Sputnik - Astral Investigator	See Reg playing with hs Kinetic Nebular Orbital Bibliophone.
Trumptonshire	Pure and innocent 70s nostaligia. An excellent page featuring sound clips, lyrics and background information.
Pylon Spotters	We knew they were out there somewhere.
