She took the mike, as Theo reluctantly removed his bass. ‘We are delighted that so many of you still care about The National Grid,’ she said, feedback hissing from the monitor. ‘I’m not sure I do,’ a journalist said to an accomplice, by Sam’s shoulder. He was twirling his grey goatee. ‘I’m just curious about whether we’ve just been forced to watch a song performed by a murderer, or not.’ ‘We love you, Bonny!’ came a shout.

Mr Robert Wardner will be involved, and I envisage that you will soon be hearing these songs performed by all of the members.’ Sam noticed Theo laughing. ‘Bonny,’ a journalist shouted. ‘Can you say for certain that Wardner will be performing again, given these rumours of an impending arrest?’ ‘What I can say for certain is that this is a performance and an art exhibition, not a press conference.
