While their performance did not go down very well, one concert goer recognised potential and suggested they listen to Henry Cow and Faust.

—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”

“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
