David Dimbleby, the song that is, is bold and brassy…quite literally, fun and frantic, deft and delicious, lyrically poignant but conversational in its delivery, gently political and wonderfully subversive. At a time when everyone seems to be taking sides, forming tribes, where opinion seems more valued than fact, what we need is a band to come a long and throw some fun and frivolity into the proceedings, put the conversation back into context, defuse the tension rather than make it seem like all out war. What we need is a band that reminds us that when it all gets a bit too heavy, a bit too despondent we can still unite on the dance floor or down the front of grassroots gig. In short, what we need is The Amber Bugs. I’d vote for them!
