Robert Hampson was also the only original member left at the time of Gilded Eternity too since the lineup had changed completely since their first releases anyway. Wasn't his wife on the drums in the original line up?
First member of the band I met was James who went on to manage Tindersticks for a while. & there was at least one other guitarist before Scott joined. I'm not sure when Neil came in.
John had been drumming with the Servants who I think also had Luke Haines as a member.
