I met Vernon in '94. Jeff Corbett had played drums for Vernon as part of the Black Rock Coalition. He came to England in '86 or so and played with Peter Gabriel and a few sessions for other folk. He ended up in a band called 'The Vapours' as replacement drummer. The Vapours frontman was a chap known to me, David Fenton. 'Turning Japanese' (a song about masturbation) put David through Law School, and he's now Head of the Musicians Union legal department, and has his own ambulance chasing business as a sideline. I stole Jeff from David's band for a project of my own, that included Steve K (from TPA studios) who was in those days a singer. (Note the glee with which I wrote that.)
Name-dropping of folk of whom you've never heard ....sorry.
