Meanwhile the Sunday papers are looking forward to a healthy injection of cash as millions of wallies and wallettes send each other 'love' messages entitled 'TO BOTTY BURP FROM RABID SQUIRREL'. Heart shapes are everywhere, from boxer shorts to cup cakes, and even British Rail are in on the act offering all you lucky students the chance to visit your loved one for a fiver not much of a bargain if you both lives in Leeds 6.

So, if your VALENTINE'S DAY is ADVERTISEMENT looking suspiciously like any other Sunday, take a deep breath, delve into FIND TRUE LOVE this carefully researched article, and we promise to put back into your life the romance of page 3, the emotion of 3-2-1, and the sex appeal of Keith Chegwin.

This less than mediocre outfit went down about as well as a dead mouse in a Big Mac. Yuk! After the heavy dirge of The Hunters Club came half an hour of pure Gothic indulgence. Ghost Dance, who have really polished up their live performance over this last year, were absolutely effervescing over with energy and power. Anne-Marie, the diminutive lead singer, with the most per- fectly formed body in the world, waggled her hips like no-one else - a truly orgasmic sight to behold. It was an intense and confident set, comprising mainly of unrecorded material, with a few of the old Eaves mixed in there as well. And so on to the final, the main, course of the evening. Balsam and the Angel emerged from the obligatory clouds of Goth smoke to an appropriate introduction by music from the piped band of the Scottish Highlanders. Playing with their new guitarist, Ian McEwan, they slashed their way through their new album tracks, eventually progressing on to the older and more familiar little numbers towards the end. This was definitely a wild hour or so of impassioned jump up and down Heavy Goth Metal! Two encores later, and the men who'd rather 'live free or die' were sadly gone. The sea of writhing bodies was quelled and the contented masses made their way home with satisfied grins on their faces. Chris Smith • Ghosrdancing
