!!    Rumours abound that some of the ex-Trio members are forming a new group. Word is that the new band is likely to be centered around a guitar-playing Judy, who will perhaps share the vocal splotlight with bass player and husband Liam. Craig Morton, who had just joinned the Trio before it split, is touted as a likely guitarist for the new group. No name has yet been suggested, and those involoved will not confirm the rumours.

!!    The Power Trio has officially disbanded. There are no hostilities - it is just the right time for the band to acknowledge that their goals are not all the same. This web site will remain in existence, and this info page will continue to provide information about some local musicians.

Rowdy cheers were made, and train-ticket money raised! Mark is still recovering. Matt and Ryan vow to return to the stage. And still Cam went to Queensland.
