The "friends" appearing with Glass were William Kopecky, Joe Kopecky and Elton Dean. Soft Works (billed as "Software" before their name change) consisted of Hugh Hopper, Allan Holdsworth, Elton Dean and John Marshall. Mike Ratledge was invited to Progman, but declined to attend, even as a spectator. Robert Wyatt's health prevented him from travelling.
