Timeline

Timeline could be made better, banjo and strings (which can be renamed to violin) colours are quite visually close so banjo could be changed to darkblue, also lead vocals and rhythm guitar could be merged to make Kevin Rowland a bit easier to read. less needed edits can be moving the brass instruments and strings to the bottom and saxophone color could be tan2, trumpet could be skyblue, and flute could be yellow. 80s Sam (talk) 21:11, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disgree. It looks fine like it is. Sundayclose (talk) 23:58, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So, no one discusses how Rowland fired Seb Shelton? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jango Davis (talk • contribs) 10:53, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
