Yeah, and didn't Nigel have a rather corny one called "Tina"? Some sort of tribute to Tina Turner... I've never heard a studio version of it, but I'm pretty sure they demoed it.
I think I've heard it on an early live recording.

I wonder if any unreleased stuff must be tied up for legal reasons since the whole reason there was intervention was to stop some taking advantage of Peter. So the judge or whoever may have demanded that any unreleased material stay that way so there would be no more cashing in on recordings PG was on etc.? Just a thought.

While I think Nigel Watson tried to gain from the new fame of Peter Green, Mike Dodd always saw Peter Green's best interest. Yet the "family trust" attourney's shut it down.

What I don't understand is that Peter Green was active from 1996-2004. Peter Green finally had a voice with Mike Dodd, and it goes away for no reason to their fans.

Does any of us know what really went on with either Splinter Group or Friends? Or the legal issues that reared their head more recently?

I suspect the only board member who knows is Mario and he's likely been warned off saying much by Peter's lawyers.

All very sad. My hope is that Peter is mentally and physically well and enjoying his life.
