Ooooh look, here's Marks' Leicester bands family tree too:

someone summarise the set-up?
It's very simple.
Neil is in Voon, except when he is in John Sims. When he is in Johns Sims he is
not a member of Voon, and when is in Voon he is not a member of John Sims.
In a similar ragga stylee, Michael is in Lazarus Clamp, except when he is in
John Sims too. When he is in John Sims he is not a member of Lazarus Clamp.
However, when he is not in Lazarus Clamp he _is_ a member of John Sims.
I am in Voon, until August 9th, when i become a solo artiste. However, for the
remaining duration of Voon i am not a solo artiste, and when i become so i
shall no longer be a member of Voon. However, when the Council does a gig
neither Neil nor i are solo artistes, or members of Voon, John Sims or FPV
(Neil's other, which only exists in the small gaps when he not a member of
Voon, John Sims, or, indeed, The Council), but members of the Council, as is
Tim, who ceases to be in Prolapse, but only for the duration of his membership
of the Council, at which point he ceases to be a member of the Council and
reverts to membership of Prolapse.
A similar situation exists when Ludd Gang play. When this occurs, Neil is not a
member of FPV, Voon, John Sims or the Council, Joni (not present here) is not a
member of John Sims either, and Tim is not a member of either Prolapse OR the
Council. Instead of which they become members of Ludd Gang. Until they stop, at
which point Neil and Tim must _decide_ which band to revert back to.
Nigel, obviously, is generally in the Melons, except when he is in Milk of the
Stars, when he is not a member of the Melons. The converse holds true also i.e.
his membership of Milk of the Stars subsides when he is a member of the Melons.
The same applies to Colin so that, curiously, when the Melons exist Milk of the
Stars completely disappears from existence. Scientists are currently puzzling
this one out.
And finally, Gary is a member of the Freed Unit AND John Sims both at the same
time ALL OF THE TIME and they're practically the same band anyway, so it
doesn't matter and he writes all the songs for all of us too.
I hope this helps.
