I'm glad you found the links. The two girls at the front on 'No ones little girl' , the first song are Gina's daughters, 9 years and 6 years old - just having fun!

That's great Shirley!

The vid wouldn't, for some reason, go full screen for me, but I was able to find the file at
http://www.bfi.org.uk/llgff/sites/bfi.org.uk.llgff/files/news_videos/raincoats_512.flv
and play it in the trusty VLC player.

Also the I found the slideshow of the Raincoats pix at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/llgff/sets/72157616051931553/show/

Who were two young girls at the front? Are they a new addition to the band?
