Wet Wet Wet: Scream! Scream! Scream!
Len Brown, NME, 8 August 1987
Lock up your pop-stars, Glasgow's daughters are on the rampage. Thankfully the police have got the situation under control. Wet Wet Wet may be trapped inside Glasgow Pavilion, the streets may be blocked by hundreds of girlies screaming 'Marti! Marti! Oh Marti!', but as the Adolf-lipped sergeant assures us "the police have got this situation firmly under control".
