This is a really mundane question, but I happened to catch the Jonathan Ross show and Sparks played the closing set.

The keyboard player was using a Yamaha Motif ES8 - but had crudely taped out the Yamaha logo and replaced it with Roland.

Anyone know why this would be done? I can only assume Sparks have a deal with Roland that forbids them using Yamaha - but it seems odd....

Jeez! You're right.

Feck, I must be getting old - I read Roland, clear as day.

I'm worried now.

What else have I missed?! eek
