Thanks to Peter @ambientblog.net for the review of Lulu
Image shows the cover of the Michael Begg album, Lulu and the Blacks overlaid with a pull quote from a review by Ambient Blog which reads, "Heartbreaking... mysterious and melancholic... Beautiful sadness... Lulu And The Blacks is a perfect album to introduce the work of Michael Begg"

Ask me about the best concerts I've seen in my life, and I will definitely also mention the Dutch performance in the same year.
Video quality is a bit poor (1982 VHS) but the energy is still as fresh as it was then. Still puts a happy smile on my face!!
