S*M*A*S*H: Family Club, Welwyn Garden City
Johnny Cigarettes, NME, February 1994
WELWYN GARDEN CITY. Always sounded horrible. Not as horrible sounding as Bletchley, Goole or Grimethorpe, admittedly, but more representative of the respectable blandist terrorism that pervades the small towns that are the Thatcherite kitchen.
