Garth[edit]

The current article claims that one of the band members played an instrument called "Garth." Maybe it's an aussie thing, I don't know, but I have no idea what a Garth is in the music world.

I believe that's the man's nickname. Note how there's no comma after "(Garth)". ShadowHalo 22:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. 'Garth' was Graeme Thompson's nickname, a common Australianism. I added italics to make it clearer. —Moondyne 00:13, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
