Crying Wolf ... but which wolf?

You remember the story of Peter and the Wolf? You remember how in the fairy tale, ole Pete cried Wolf, and how it was a lie? So he got eaten right up like a tasty bit of boy-toast? We hope we're not bringing back any childhood traumas here. But we are here to tell you, Glitterditchees: the fable has come to life in the London of today! Well, kind of.

We were very happy when we saw that Peter and the Wolf were playing the Camden Enterprise tonight. Because we couldn't think of a better gig to go to than that of the much acclaimed American singer songwriter. That and well Bjork's too expensive and Portishead's sold out.

But still, we were very sad to hear that it's not our US friend playing at all, but a wolf-clothed imposter from Liverpool.

Of course, it could have been worse. It could have been a copy of the Bono/ Gavin Friday boxset. You know, the children's story. All alone under a spotlight. Howling.
