A performance
Sir: We are writing because we are dis- appointed that Mr Nicholas Farrell misrep- resented the facts of what happened the day he witnessed us performing on tube trains in the early evening (The wrath of Bongo', 9 September). What Mr Farrell has not mentioned in his article is that we told him we did not normally perform on trains at that time in the evening, and therefore any reactions he encountered from passengers then would not be relevant because we would not normally be performing at that time. He had insisted that we perform at a time when we don't normally perform, because he had an appointment somewhere else. This is why we were angry with him from the start, because we consider it to be an unfair test — i.e. we would not normally have been performing on the trains at that time because we know that that time of day is the wrong moment for such a perform- ance. After the number of years we have been performing on the tube, we know when to perform and when not to perform — as we told Mr Farrell at the time.
