    In addition to being able to bring out the dark side of even a cheerful song with her singing, Kitty Lux could bring wit and a dignified humour to something like this critique of popular culture. Following the kidney transplant and related complications which she had just before this recording, I asked her why she wore a hair ribbon. “To keep my head together”, she responded. And indeed, she kept it together for years, right up until the end. Well done you, gigging until the last.

    To call this ‘melange’ may be accurate, but it massively undersells how clever and wonderful the performance is.

    You know, it's so easy for a band like UKOGB, to be written off as musical fluff... But they are so good at what they do, they transcend the 'gimmick', and achieve real art. There are those who argue it isn't meant to be taken seriously, but the fact it can is what makes it so special.
