Reviews

From Girton Ball (I'd imagine a Cambridge college gig where we wouldn't be glancing over our shoulder for reviewers brandishing sharpened pens) an odd set list - first half completely fictitious, in the tradition of announcing the band as Vince Baxter and the Dynamos or Leppo and the Jooves, or announcing the forthcoming first album as The Day They Ate Brick - then an all-covers second half (the only half), apart from Wey Wey Hep a Hole - a song from the Band, two from the Velvet Underground, three from Cream, one from Van Morrison and one from Chuck Berry (Jim's vocal spot?), then Captain Beefheart, John Lennon and Fairport Convention. - Kimberley R.
