Some people's idea of the greatest pop concerts might be of a vast stadium with thousand upon thousand of fans waving flags and singing along, or of ageing long-haired guitar heroes (who might be necessarily a bit shorter-haired by now) making some immense racket through piled-up speakers and amps and the suspicion that class A drugs were involved.
O, no, not me. Stephin has a cup of tea in the first half, at least. And it's much more like a chamber concert. You Must be Out of Your Mind is almost a composite Merritt song, as if he isn't exactly stretching his talent any more. But it will do just fine. As long as our seats at The Barbican don't have other people's heads getting in the way as much as this.

- David Green (Books) is the imprint under which I published booklets of my own poems. The original allocation of ISBN numbers is used up now, though. The 'Collected Poems' are now available as a pdf. The website is now what it has become, often more about music than books and not so often about poems. It will be about whatever suggests itself.
