:smile: They weren’t that bad. In fact I can totally understand why their debut sold 7 million.

Saw Ian Brown at Shepherd Bush once. Really was awful and out of tune and rooted to the spot stuff; very disappointing. Went to see the excellent Electric Soft Parade who were...really excellent. Shame they didn’t get more success really.
