This month’s Moon Club update has a link to this appeal from Peter for help to aid the victims of the Earthquake in Pakistan – spread the word so people there have a chance to survive the winter…

Also on the petergabriel.com site is the update on the FIFA World Cup Gala Opening Ceremony being cancelled. Even as the stories whirl about, and there are a few, it is a shame that over 5000 performers auditioned to perform that day, people had bought tickets, and the plans have gone awry. For one of the several news stories about this cancellation, check out this one from Yahoo news, and this other story from the Financial Times.

Tina has posted her update, and also a two contests for December and January! I recognize some of November’s winners, congratulations to all!

The Tony Levin Band performed in Rome, and this clip is from that performance! Can hardly wait for the tour next year to reach my part of the world….

Peter is working on the music for the World Cup Gala – to get tickets to the FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremonies, click here. Sorry, see story above…

And Africa Calling DVD is available – get your copies of this fantastic experience now…

Steve Hackett continues his drumbeat on a Genesis reunion by stating that he had been contacted by ‘band management’.

Tina on petergabriel.com, however, just stated there was nothing to the rumors flying around:

I’m told that sadly, there is no truth in it; this rumour seems to come and go every few years and we think that this particular one has been fuelled by the fact that Phil, Peter and Steve Hackett have all been interviewed lately in connection with their solo careers and they are always asked about the Band. They all say the same thing; that they remain good friends and although there are no specific plans, they would not rule out the possibility at some time – although getting the five of them together would prove too hard given their various solo commitments.

The perennial grain of salt, mixed in with a healthy dose of ‘wait and see’ might prove the only way to deal with these flying rumors. Maybe Hackett is the primary proponent of the reunion, and is trying to keep the story alive so it can happen. Maybe not.

Anyway, Happy Holidays, and have a bright New Year!
