[kj] ot: Jah Wobble's English Roots Band

[ade]

I saw him a couple of years ago (thankfully supporting Thee Majesty) up in
Preston.

I thought the guy a total egomaniac. Using reed instruments to appear a
little 'different', whilst just
playing drones, etc. on them. In fact, they were *all* playing drones /
fanned-in guitar, etc. Emperors
new clothes. Yawn. And all that on-stage conducting! Who on earth does that
man think he is???

I expected more.
