Finally, Pearl (former Porl) has spoken to us:
"thank you to everyone for all your thoughts and support...
as for all the comments; good and bad!
keep the freedom flag flying ; )
for those who do care.....
i apologise if i upset you with this decision
but i will no longer be playing in this inspirational band, (hence the auction
i am working on a lot of new projects..jewellery, music, art and mixed media;
all of which will take time to ferment...
paint still flows and my mind state is better than it has been for long while;
much love ~Pearl
formally porl RIP xxx"
