I just wanted to point out that The Love Language, playing Nightlight
tonight, is fronted by ex-The Capulet's singer Stuart Mclamb and while they
haven't yet hit the stride that the caps had at time of death, fans the the
afore mentioned will draw a clear and precise comparison. It's worth seeing.
No I am not a promoter just a fan.
