Re: RAH

They shoulda filmed a gig for TV - There's so many bands now getting airplay on BBC for live performances and documentaries. BBC have the Microdisney doc on there at the moment. Nothing against Microdisney (excellent doc BTW) but surely "the Stranglers" are a bigger catch? Jim Agreed JIm....
