The poet Drosswort I believe it was who babbled "All you need is love - Doopy Doopy Dah - Love is all you need... etc. etc." Well, let me tell you, Mr. scribbly-wibbly poet, no it jolly well isn't. There's Parsnips and Teapots and Black Puddings and Poodles and Albert Einstein and Gerbils and Mass Destruction and Cheese and all kinds of groovy things which are much more deserving of robust portrayal in song than soppy old Lurve. So there we have it. Mr Orton provides a show that does what it says on the bin... No love or smoochie stuff... no angst, no gloomy introspection... and no reality guitar solos either. Well, not from me at any rate... you can do what you like at the back of the hall... Love... sorry, regards... Pete. Oh, and no origami either. (Saturday afternoon Corn Exchange Bar)
