Oh, and important bit - Joe introduced me to the music of Chick Corea and we all attended in London.  I then took Joe to see Todd Rundgren's Utopia at The Hammersmith Odean (now the Apollo) and he was pretty blown away by it.  I've remained a Todd Rundgren fan to this day.

Visitor 2035 - Upstairs at Ronnies

The photo of the full band is from the internet (not mine) but I'm sure it's fine to share it.  This ticket stub however was still in with my tape.  The quality of the tape is pretty poor, but I'm going to transfer it to my computer - I think it's a demo of what eventually became the vinyl copy some already have, but I'll need to ask at least one of the boys if it's ok to share it.

Oh, and Nigel is with a band called LOUD SHIRTS now - they play in the Redhill area - it's just outside London, UK.

I was lucky enough to see Visitor 2035 live at Deeply Vale in the late 70's. They arrived with the Steve Hillage band as support act and came on quite late in the evening. I'd never heard of them before but their mix of spacey jazz rock type music blew me away. Best band of the festival by far. I remember Craig Pruess stepping away from his keyboards to play trumpet on Cassiopeia and the haunting tones drifting around the natural amphitheatre that was Deeply Vale. I found there album shortly afterwards in Virgin records in Coventry and bought it which I still have to this day. I also got the album on CD from the States but suspected it was not entirely legit which was confirmed by Craig after I emailed him. Nice copy though! Craig did talk about remaking some of the tracks but I've never heard anything since.

Hi out there, I know visitor very well, I was their photographer and yes, I have lots of photos of them.
 Craig also taught my son Gary how to play trumpet! I was with them at most of there gigs 1975-1978, I then traveled over o the middle East for photographic work and while away, Craig used my DS21 safari car to transport things to gigs (a job I did while working with them). Great guys, great music, I have both L.P.s, signed by the band, also Craig's singles, I also have photos of them signing their contract with Ariola! I did the photography for the Visitor 2035 album!

The photo I originally posted has been removed unfortunately.   I only went to gigs around 1975 with Joe, but kept in touch with Nigel for a few more years.   Would be pleased to see your photos John M - do post them some time.
