The Foxx gig was awesome! It was John Foxx with Louis Gordon, and
it's easily the most powerful live fully electronic show I've ever
seen. ∗Highly∗ recommended if you get the chance, even if you know
none of the songs! We also got a full screening of the film +
soundtrack "Tiny Colour Movies" which was totally engrossing, but
very few drums :-)

Having been an Ultravox fan (Foxx era and Midge Ure era) I'm now also
a John Foxx fan.

Cheers,
Ken.
