Uriah Heep/Bram Tchaikovsky: City Hall, Newcastle

HEEP AND Tchaikovsky? All I expected to want to write was a letter to the civic authorities asking them to put Andrex instead of Bronco in the gents' bog because it's kinder on the ears. It was a gloomy prospect all round, not enhanced by my piles giving me gyp again (any potent remedies out there). And yet it turned out quite nicely considering.
