Agree about the excellent voice however boring when I saw them live at Gateshead. Seemed to go through the motions and no patter with the crowd.
We're never really my cup of tea, though i didn't mind their first album, Picture Book. Against my better judgement, I took the Mrs to see them at the arena, 2013/14ish. I was blown away by how good they were tbh, incredible voice live. I didn't think twice when she wanted to go again next time they were up here, and again, they were excellent.
There are songs that are cool because they're not, if you know what I mean ... ... this is one of my favourites, six minutes of daftness and joy. And, I may be wrong but, there's just a touch of the Spike Milligan's about him.
