Tardis like, it has reappeared in Melbourne for a couple of months as
part of the Melbourne festival. As always, there are so many
potentially interesting bands to go and see! Tonight we made a good
start by seeing “Deborah Conway and Friends, or “...and paid
acquaintances” as they were introduced. An entertaining set, lots of
jokes and chatting with the audience — its the sort of venue that
encourages that. Finished off with Man Overboard, after many frantic
calls from a couple of women in the audience. “How old is this
song,” I wondered out loud... “twenty years?” “Couldn't possibly
be,” claimed a friend, “that would make me too old!” Aha! January
1983, The Waiting Room EP, so that's twenty two and a half years ago!
