- Happily, Iain's activities quite often draw a media response (I think
his "Lights Out for the Territory" was reviewed same page, yes?) and
happily, this time it's simpatico, not the "here's a bit of rough for you"
which is often used. However, Iain, Denise n Doug should watch out - the
last PMP10 was the "Mersey Sound" - another occasion when the doors of
mainstream media momentarily opened to let three outsiders in...
- Sorry for sounding cynical!
