Le Beat Route

A fanzine review headed New English - La Beatroute 23.2.87 calls the band the liveliest on the night and the venue a rather plush, expensive night club. The reviewer notes that Shareef played the wrong opening chords to Sixteen, and records that this was the band’s tenth gig since October. Le Beat Route was a Soho nightclub at 16 Greek Street.
