I Moonshalte and Fenn Traders (downstairs). Glassford Street. 5526246. 9pm. Free. See Fri 4 for Moonshake. Fenn are just brilliant. We can‘t overstate the case here really. although Radio Scotland's Beat Patrol almost manage it every time they play one of theirdemo tracks. Imagine the Jimi Hendrix Experience (same sort of line-up are this band cool or what?) playing Ride’s best songs. or vice versa. and that‘s probably nothing like what Fenn are about but as fusions go it sounds as good as Fenn‘s music does.
