- I've been requested to remove direct links to MIDI files on the web, as these did not give proper credit

OK, but What's Cool?

- Here you can see information and online programs for Camel's Live Tours
- All the back issues of Camel Production's Nature of the Beast are available online!
- The Frequently Asked Questions section is a good place to visit!
- The Discography section details Camel albums, listing band members, trivia notes, bits of history, album playing times and much more.
- Album Lyrics are available for most Camel's songs, also available by clicking the 'lyrics' icon near a song name in the Discography.
- There are guitar TAB transcriptions for a couple of songs in the Music section.
- Many of John Tracy's liner notes from the DERAM CDs are available for those who missed it. Susan Hoover's liner notes from the Echoes compilation are very interesting!
- The Weeping Camel animation GIF is cool (imo!). Check it out at the bottom of the Welcome section.
What else do you have in plan?
I've got a detailed list of Camel's performances from 1972 till 1992. I'll need authorisation before
publishing it.
How do I contribute?
Glad you've asked, I don't get much of these, and when I do - they're welcome. Here are a few things I'm looking for:
- I want our world to be better. Please smile more often, especially at unknown people. Consider helping old ladies cross the street. Preserve nature. Donate to charity... But seriously, I'd appreciate:
- John Tracy's CD Liner notes for the following albums: Moonmadness (I used to have it but I lost it!), Nude (if there are any notes...), and Stationary Traveller (if there are any at all)
- TABs, Chords, Midi or other music-oriented files you may have (please don't start sampling songs - I don't have disk space for that!)
- If you have a list of Camel's tour dates - I'd appreciate that in the hope of making a full list of their live performances.
- Your questions! Should this site leave your queries unresolved, please let me know about it, and hopefully we'll be able to relieve your pain.
- Tour programs. Have you got one? Can you make a photo copy and send it over? Can you scan it and send it via e-mail?
- Articles and interviews, if you've got any - please act as in the previous line.
- Your general thoughts, comments, spelling corrections, grammar correction, manners correction etc. :-)
