Hi, this might be a seriously silly question for me to ask, but then, I like NO's music, and am not at all knowledgable on who the band are.

Anyway, I was at the concert on October 11 at Brixton and the announcer said that there were five in the band and that got me seriously confused as throughout the concert, I could only saw four who were actually performing, and what looked like one guy sitting behind a DJ deck but not doing anything much. (I was sitting! It's hard to see from afar!)

So besides the main stalwarts of the band, could someone please enlighten me as to who the other two were?

Thanks!

Basically the other two were Phil Cunningham on guitar and keyboards, the ex-Marion guitarist (saw them once they were really good) Anybody know what's happened to Marion? Judging by Barney's jovial comments to Phil on the Thursday night performance "we recovered you from the gutter" (or words to that effect) it sounds like they split up ages ago! and Dawn Zee was the backing vocalist/dancer at the back of the stage (she is actually the session backing vocalist on the new album as well.) The dude on the decks you mentioned was probably Arthur Baker who was half of the support for Wednesday and Thursday. A London band called Garlic supported on Thursday but I forgot who supported on Wednesday - anybody know who it was? (I was sad enough to go to both dates in case you were wondering!)

Thanks for your help!

The concert was good, wasn't it? My personal favourite (True Faith) didn't sound as good as I'd hoped live but the show was awesome nonetheless. I don't remember much about the support band, except their name, but the support DJ was fantastic. If I had been standing, I'd have been (tiredly) dancing for sure! I almost felt like I was in this really ecletic club.
