Twang! questions

[Mrpeabody]

On the 1996 comp "Twang! Tribute to Hank Marvin and the Shadows", the Splinter Group does the track "Midnight". I don't know about anyone else, but this was the first place I'd seen or heard that PG had started playing again. And the playing is brilliant.

Dumb question #1: Is that really PG playing the main guitar throughout? I only ask because in all the later CDs he's done, we never hear him that up-front and playing that lyrically. Usually, Nigel takes over.

Dumb question #2: Does anyone know the background story to them doing this track? Was this indeed Peter's first "comeback" track?

Thanks!
Mr. Peabody
