Groping for Air: Sonja Kristina
Phil Sutcliffe, Sounds, 17 July 1976
SONJA KRISTINA stepped out of the dressing room after the gig at Dunstable in her lace stage dress that doesnt look as though its really there (though it doesnt show anything it shouldnt — and I have examined it in detail) and said a few pleasant nothings to the queue of male fans assembled there before passing on down the corridor to the loo to get changed, the unglamorous lot of a lady in an all-made band.
