2007 December 14th Inaugural Concert by ‘Benghazi’

Inaugural ‘concert’ by Benghazi: Gwenda Jones on paper cup, James Tregaskis on balloons and vomiting and Mtebe Noginga on piledriver and toys. Recorded live in the studio on Borough High Street. Naturally these highly strung individuals came to loggerheads shortly after this event and went their own separate ways only to reform the following day. Tregaskis’s distinctive vomiting technique spawned numerous clones, Noginga gained a reputation for extracting the most from a wind up tin toy but little of merit can be said about Gwenda Jones?s lacklustre performance which prompted the acrimonious break-up. A classic.
