I finally got to hear Clive Langer's Clang Group in person at Surya, a small bar in Kings Cross, on Thursday night.
Bizarrely listed at the bottom of a four band bill and allocated only half an hour's stage time, the Clangers played a lively 45-50 min set, with Andy in fine fettle. He played the first half of the set on alto sax, before switching to soprano for much of the second half.
At least the bar's management realised that 80% of the punters were there to hear the Clangers (the remaining bands played to a dozen listeners or less!), so maybe a headlining opportunity may follow.
No Roxy numbers in the set list, but VRM was, as always, represented; it was nice to catch up with Stabbs McKenzie again and to meet Miniluv for the first time.
