Excerpt:

Scritti Politti played out their first gig in a maze of nervousness without a proper set.
Not properly consulted (they claim) over their billing and not properly prepared themselves, they asked the audience to regard their appearance as an "open rehearsal". They won sympathetic respect and three offers of support slots on projected national tours.
Highly strung but low-key is an appropriate description of both Scritti Politti and Red Crayola.
The Crayola duo slipped on discreetly after an interval about as long as Politti's 15 minute set. [...]
