You did not waste your time. I asked you for the links & thanked you for providing them. They did not change my opinion on whether there is 'new' material. See Dreamer's post above. However by 'we' I did mean the board in general.
As for the future of a band depending on the wishes of its manager... I don't see how this could be. If they no longer wish to work together it doesn't matter what Irving says.
