    Well I thought 6 Jan was the date for the Epiphany. Whatever. It was just a guess. And I knew it was a stretch.

    If you know how the band's name was derived, it makes perfect sense.
    Barclay was the bank which loaned the band money to get started. Lloyds is another large English bank.
    James was a "good English name chosen at random. John was my equally random choice.
    Harvest was the label which originally signed them. Island was another popular "alternative" label at the time.
