The evening began in a suitably undignified and silly manner - reciting the Hooting Yard Chant accompanied by the clashing of a tambourine to get everyone into the appropriate mood for an evening of lugubrious music (provided by Outa_Spaceman a.k.a. David) and lopsided prose (delivered by Frank Key). Frank's performance was once reviewed by the Guardian, in which the reviewer bestowed the following honour on Frank - "Frank Key can probably lay claim to having written more nonsense than any other man living." The audience at W&T were certainly not spared! My favourite? "I had a hammer" which goes something like this "I had a hammer. I hammered in the morning. I hammered in the evening all over this land. I hammered out danger. I hammered out a warning. I hammered out love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land. They should have seen that coming. As I said, before I hammered the love out of them, I hammered out a warning. It was hardly my fault if they thought I was just larking about. Personally, if I had seen one of my siblings roaring towards me at dusk, armed with a hammer, I’d have made a run for it, particularly when it was clear I had been hammering things all day all over this land...."
