I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,

 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Probably not appropriate to ask but what happened to Neil R?

In my opinion he was the raddest of the bunch back in the day, shame to hear he is no longer with us.  :(

I believe he struggled with mental health issues which resulted in him taking his own life.
Take a look on Andy Ruffell's web site theres some nice pics there's also some great pics on this site.

Isn't that Andy standing on the stage rightside .
Neil was a great ramp rider what happened to style like that you don't see it very often
puppet airs, opposite side one hand one foot, stretched can-cans etc.
