“Listening to Gospel Music”' draws you into a more civilised arena, not that that means very much; the clip has, I think, more of a wry sense of humour. References to the best-forgotten Donald Chump chime (I think the songs were written when The Mighty Fibber was still misusing his power) but really, both songs are allegories of.

The Moonlight 5's Sydney subtext should find a much broader appeal, which is why Aldora Britain Records have noticed them. The band - do excuse me, I'm not from Sydney - I don't recognise, but they're bloody good, knowing where to be creative and quiet and where to put the danger cones. John Cobbin plays bass and guitar; Liz Lim the bass clarinet; Digby Richards keyboards and Jim O'Sullivan drums. Also, any band with a member named “Digby” should have their own TV show.

Keep a lookout for the band when this infernal virus has finally eased up. Meanwhile, buy “Lockdown Blues” here.
