From a Robyn mailing at the time
"I'm playing a selection of naff 70's hits on Friday 18th of July at the Clerkenwell Festival. The band stars Kimberley and Morris as well as Terry Edwards and Paul Noble, whose birthday it is."

`Robyn Hitchcock and Heavy Friends' headlined Friday night at the small-but-wonderful Clerkenwell Festival.

A tighter, shorter, more powerful version of the Naff Hits set - Funky Town, Another Girl Another Planet, Love Don't Live Here Anymore, Come Up And See Me (Make Me Smile), Dancing Queen, Sound and Vision (medley) - with some amazing additions - Are Friends Electric/Tired of Waiting, Lucifer Sam, Kingdom of Love.

Lucifer Sam just took off; guitars, horns, bass, drums, vocals, all so powerful, so overwhelming that - despite the fact that a fair proportion of the audience had no idea what the hell was happening - it was the best received song of the whole evening. Kingdom of Love was a close second. Followed by Come Up And See Me, then Funky Town.

Robyn was wearing an excellent shirt and singing incredibly well; Kimberley's guitar was even better than last time; Morris was perfect, without monitors; Terry Edwards was sporting three horns; Paul Noble made everything happen.

And everyone was smiling, laughing, dancing, and generally very happy indeed. Oh, and it was all free. Who could ask for anything more?
