    Hey Leg!
    That Dexys…I love Kev as much as you but just because it isn’t totally beyond the pale doesn’t make it great. I’ve been to two of these nights – there was a burlesque as a support act and the paper were falling over themselves to tell us how brillant it was. They did not mention the sense of relief when Big Jimmy played the bit at the start of Tell Me When My Light Turns Green.
    But you’re too clever – Tallulah is so beautiful straight after. Is that the point?
