They played in the Big Top at the Isle of Wight festival last month, and chose to perform S F Sorrow (personally I'd have liked to hear more recent stuff or some of their wonderful acoustic blues, but you can't always get what you want, and it was a good performance.) Phil May needs to remain seated throughout the show these days, so I guess that has something to do with the decision to call it a day.

I'd have been happy with SF Sorrow - great album.

Looks like they are doing an acoustic set at the Eel Pie Club in September though: http://www.eelpieclub.com/

Phil is suffering from COPD from what I have read.

I hope they will concentrate on some more vault releases.
