Subject: RE: Four Men and a Dog
I found this today on the NGs.

I have been getting loads of mail asking if I will be playing with Beware of the Dog at this years Festival in the Barbican in London. The fact that Beware of the Dog are still advertised as playing there is surprising in itself. I will explain. Just before Christmas due to some personal conflicts between Danny Collier and the other members of the band it was decided that we would split up. We decided to continue our gigs up to and including Monday February 1st in the Swan in Stockwell. After that Beware of the Dog would be no more and Gino would continue his Gino Lupari and Friends gig in the Swan which he is doing successfully, I would move to Ireland and myself and Brian Mullan would be writing and working together with Barry McGuigan. Obviously Danny and Dick have decided to continue with the name Beware of the Dog and because of that Brian and myself just felt it would be better to distance ourselves from that form of the band which can in no way be anything like what we worked on for so long. As far as we know Gino has nothing to do with that line up either. Officially we would like to state that Beware of the Dog in our opinion does not exist anymore. We would however like to wish Gino and Dick all the best for whatever they do in the future
John Cutliffe and Brian Mullan.
