Brian Poole And The Tremeloes: Stoke Newington Town Hall, London
Penny Reel, NME, 9 March 1985
DRESSED DASHINGLY in a detergent white jerkin, black shirt and slim black slacks, wearing a white knitted tie and white plimsolls, black belt and black watchstrap, and with hair suitably tinted silver grey to crown this monochrome montage, Brian Poole returns again to the footlights to desecrate further the songs he previously destroys on record a distant two decades or so ago.
