RE: Gig reviews

[<M.Flack@op...ac.uk>]

This has simply got to have been written by Chris Roberts from Melody
Maker.
He always wrote like this - more entertaining than most of the bands he
reviewed.  He also invented a genre of music called Blonde, which failed
pretty dismally, probably because he couldn't explain it to anyone in a
way
that made sense!  Then he went off and formed a band called Catwalk (or
was
it Cakewalk - no, it would have been cats with him), who sunk without
trace.

Wonder what he's doing now?
