	Epilogue All this information has come from wall charts, diaries and master tape recordings that I have kept over the years. Most of the press cuttings have been filed away in various albums as have all the group photos (including publicity shots, footage at gigs and shots generally documenting the existence of all the bands I have been involved in). The Confident Tricksters, however, always had the biggest hold of my heart and did the vast majority of gigs included in this tome! Orange Appeal, The Confident Tricksters, High Society, The Kevin Dunn Experience, Professor Feedback, Crosby Stills Nash Young and Farthing, Rick Goodtime, The Teenage Millionaires and We've Never Heard Of You Either. In addition, I'd like to thank all the musicians I have been involved with over the years. There are probably too numerous to mention�.but here goes! Steven Lowe, Andrew Thomas, John Sheppard, Steve Crowe, Keith Angel, Dave Angel, Adrian Evans, Tony (Wildman) Hunter, Dermot O'Reilly, Pat Grogan, Chris Daffern, Andy Littlewood, Mr Mick, Simon James, Sarah James, Catherine Wall, Simon Watts, Dave Green, Rob Skeats, John Lawson, Rob Stalker, Matthew Elliss, Simon Holbrooke-Taylor, Nick Hillier, Glen Day, Steve McNicholas, Ken (Mad Kenny) Perkins, Tim Woad, John White, Dom Adams, Lee Stewart, John Ensor, Nick Browning, Mark Kerrigan, John McKevitt, Wendy Martyn, Craig Adams, Wyn Potts, Graham Nicholson, Martin Fergusson, Dave Walker, Jason Stewart and Dave Harker. And all the stupid names we have used: Harley Davidson, Rick Goodtime, Lance Boyle, Ian Cunis, Craig Valentine, Johnny Rocket, Casey Jones, Kevin Dunn, Rock Godd, Tosser De Starr, Riff Clich� And The Golden Chords, David Exciting and Nick Whistler. Videos of the band in action have been filed away together with the master tape recordings, cassette copies and CDs taken from studio recordings, rehearsals, radio broadcasts, interviews and live gigs. A compilation of live footage of The Confident Tricksters is now available on DVD. The four original Confident Tricksters' records are also available on CD.
