All I can add to this is that Siouxsie was/is always pretty ruthless 
when dealing with these kind of problems; she always put the band 
first. On the other hand, it wasn't just her decision. The three of 
them reached the decision. Bloody Robert Smith was hanging 
around a lot at the time as well.

I think that's fairly obvious, though whether he'd admit it in such a 
way is another matter. He always states that McGeoch was the 
best guitar player to work in the Banshees. When the question 
arose on that BBC 'Rock Family Trees' documentary, you could 
see his sheepish and flustered respone. He knows that in 
retrospect they did something pretty nasty. You could also check 
out the FAQ at his website for some further comments.

The film hasn't been released in this country yet and it isn't 
scheduled for November either, so I don't know when I'll get to see 
it. Looking forward to it though. There was something on BBC 
Czech about it a couple of weeks ago.

Speak soon,

Cliff
