Our first review

Our first ever published review appeared in Wire magazine of all places!! Ok it was a review of the whole of Ladyfest London, but we got a glowing mention:

"Mixing live music with spoken word, poetry and performance art is a brave but often thankless strategy, formulated out of an institutional zeal to 'improve' people, whether or not there's a demand for it. On the night, audiences invariably want to rock not read, and for all the Ladyfest team's good intentions, the largely female spectators at the Garage were no different. Few performers inspired any interest in the rock crown until a Radical Cheerleading duo struck sparks with their miniskirt outfits, pom-poms and synchronised routines. Holly and Celina's act is a part of a rapidly spreading global trend of radical cheerleading. They fired up the masses with a series of constitutional cries "Resist! Resist! Fight the capitalist...Resist, resist, show them what they can kiss!", before turning around and slapping their posteriors to loud cheers."

Aside from the complete spelling of my name, I was pretty chuffed with that!
