In a whopping 6 to 1 vote the Yeas have it. Not being happy with the small sampling, I did a posting on Paul Thompson's forum asking the same question. Got very favorable replies for including the harp. It seems that if there was a way to mix in the harp with the original version, that would be the way to go. The disco beat has to go. My thinking is that Julia plays an instrumental on the harp that hints at Angel Eyes, maybe Bryan comes out to the piano and they play the first verse as a duo. Then Paul and Andy come out and join them for the second verse. The rest of the band falls in and they rock up the ending with a reprise of the first verse. Just my idea, for what its worth.

After a recorded intro of "India" they launched into "Virginia Plain" probably a wise choice as it immediatley got the neutrals on their side , a blast through the Roxy/ Ferry single catalogue was expected, but it was a delight to hear "Remake," "Ladytron" & "These Foolish Things", Kevin Hackett does a plausable Ferry even if sometimes i felt he overdid the "Ferryisms", but probably the best impersonation i've seen.John Ozocroft does Manzo almost perfectly, using only one guitar, Bob Hackett on bass, Paul Wooley on keyboards are excellent, as is Kieron Wright as TGPT. The show stealer for me though was Lee Sullivans peformance, what an artist !dressed somewhere between a stranded era Mackay & Sylvester McCoy's Dr. Who, his sax screeching got the crowd up to fever pitch, the mature women in the audience were trying to get their hands on his sax all night! A few years ago I was really anti-tribute bands, but after "Remake" & now "Magic" I'm a big fan, & no I'm not biased as Saturday was the first time I'd met any of the band. If you're around Wolverhampton on Thursday, I urge you to see them.

(and my Roxy Babes) A lot of credit to Roxy Magic who happened to be at the same place at the same time. They were even better than the band I saw in Nuneaton last week, Take a Chance With Me was a treat, and Editions of You. Even Avalon seemed to work live, which is more than I can say for the many times I have heard Roxy play it. The set list really flowed. No big write up this time, I don't want to get a reputation for being the band groupie, Go and see them for yourself, It's Steve Sirens turn for the write up. Catch them if you can, they deserve the support, book them for your regional meet ups, Everyone in the band kicked ass, and the seemingly growing crowed had a great night.
