And I doubt the originals would have heard of Imogen Heap let alone sung one of her songs. This is probably where I own up and say I haven’t actually looked at the video yet ! 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His show is well worth a listen, I don't think I've ever heard a wider spectrum of music in one show, plus he obviously loves what he plays. He will occasionally join in or whoop along with stuff, which might normally be irritating but works just because he so obviously is enjoying the music. I managed to listen to an hour or so on Sounds this afternoon. A) If he gets anymore laid back he'll be comatose.😀 B) Other than the Flaming Lips' new song (which is great) I hadn't heard any of the other songs before. A complete mixed bag of musical styles and I can't say I disliked any of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen them a few times since-though only once more with Hugh in the band. Always a good gig and JJ is unreal-I don't know how he keeps himself so fit. I played a few gigs in a Stranglers covers band before our guitarist left to join the best Stranglers covers band around, Straighten Out (formerly Four More Heroes). You will be able to see them in Great Yarmouth next |March if Yarmegeddon goes ahead. Well worth catching them.
