See Protex Live!
The recordings are ok, but the best way to get the Protex thing is experience it live! Sadly, due to professional obligations, original founder members Owen and Paul were unable to give the substantial time committment to the new project, so we were very lucky and grateful to Andy Curliss for taking on bass duties and to the legendary Gordie Walker for stepping up to the plate on drums.

Meanwhile there was growing interest in the band, with the John T Davis movie clips of the live New York set getting a steadily growing number of hits on uTube – over 30,000 at the last count.
