 NOTES

A tad “back of the hall” and some strange overblown microphone in places -Mark is incredibly loud versus the gruppe and the soundscape suffers. There is also a nearby punter who keeps making strange noises very similar to an oversexed parrot reaching orgasm.

Concluding track has a recording  of MES talking backwards which with a little sonic exploration is the “G-Racket” poem……

As with most dates on this tour a highly polished well constructed set.

Unfortunately not essential due to the naff sound – sounds like a good gig.
