Graham Parker and The Rumour: Live in Belfast
Gavin Martin, NME, 10 March 1979
GRAHAM PARKER hasn't changed much the small guy with the high forehead sporting an Oxfam jacket, T-shirt, drainpipes and tinted specs but his set has, half of it coming from Squeezing Out Sparks. He's still writing furious, desirous and angry love songs and sometimes they are very good indeed.
