Mention of Wikipedia reminds me - I was having a look at the 
Oils' Wikipedia entry recently, and noted that PG apparently 
joined as singer AND synth player - huh? I can't recall any 
ref to his synth abilities before (the only instruments I'm 
aware of him regularly playing are harmonica and a bit of 
guitar). Can anyone shed light on this?

Wikipedia is like asking directions from someone on the side of the road -
you'll probably get the general idea and it can be useful, but don't rely on
it 100%.

And of course if you don't think that bit is right, you can always remove
it!  The truth is probably that Pete occasionally played some bits and
pieces when Jim didn't have enough spare hands, which isn't really the same
thing as joining the band as a "vocalist and synth player".
