Very odd, not for purists (I felt a bit strange!) although fairly good string quartet arrangements of 20 Smiths songs: ---Last Night I Dreamt Rubber Ring Unloveable How Soon Is Now?

I saw it... (Score:1)

I thought the medley of There is a light, Still Ill and William... worked quite well but in general it was pretty scary.
The hand that rocked the cradle was verging on peverse.
I don't think Mozzer would have lasted through the whole thing.
On the bright side, the man in the bunny sit was quite fit.
