I saw Cardiacs last night. I know not everyone's a fan but Tim was too dead to sing on this
so it may be a bit more tolerable.
...
It was one hell of a fucking gig...

I saw them supporting Marillion at the Hammersmith Odeon in '84.
The crowd didn't really get them then (and neither did I) - during their set the air was filled with the free flexi discs they were giving away.
Not a bad tune tho

Yeah, I think that pairing goes down alongside Minty supporting Pulp in the 90s
Marillion's audience were more angry. Pulp's just backed away from the stage until there was a huge gap between them and Minty!

They're mid-tour at the moment
Mike Venner is doing the lead vocals and guitar and he's very, very good. I know Tim's voice was rather divisive but Mike's is a bit less... erm... cutting.

They played down the road from me, in Portsmouth the other night
But it was sold out before I realised. So glad it was good.
