Fairground Attraction: Diversion!
Lloyd Bradley, Q, June 1989
THE FIGURE WAVING wildly from inside the bar of The American Hotel, Amsterdam, is Mark E. Nevin, guitarist and songwriter in Fairground Attraction. As the trio of tour personnel enter the bar, he only stops pumping our hands to buy us drinks. For a variety of reasons, he is very glad to be here.
