Elly Roberts reviews
Take a dash of pure Britpop and Vaudeville and you get a very special brew.
Watford’s very own troubadours Mohair, are infusing a unique mixture for the21 century. End Of The Line is mix of ’67 Kinks meets Blur meets The SmallFaces: the net result is very clever pop. From the opening piano, to thepulsating romp which it becomes, it’s fresh and enlightening in anundeniably faithful retro mood. The brass blast section coming in at 3 mins5 secs is the icing on the cake. It’s brave, confident, bombastic andwonderful.
With USA Q Prime’s Grunion Records signing them up, alongsideluminaries such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Garbage, Metallica, Muse andThe Lost Prophets, it indicates a great deal of faith in this band. Thesingle is heavy on playfulness, melody and harmony, at which they’remasters.
Tom Billington, Pet Baker, Alex Richards and Tim Slade are definitely namesto remember. There’s nothing quite like them on the music scene.
British Pop at its best!

Elly Roberts passed away in 2011, but he was a man who was so passionate about all types of music and loved meeting his musical heroes, such as Mick Hucknall at a book signing at the Trafford Centre, Manchester in 2007.
A former teacher and also a music journalist, DJ and radio presenter on local community station Calon FM, plus appearances on BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru and BBC Radio 2, Elly started doing reviews for DVDfever.co.uk in 2004 and he did the majority of the CD and concerts reviews on the website.
I know also that he loved getting away for the summer to Spain and I hope that wherever he is now he is enjoying the hot sunshine and, as one of his friends has said on his Facebook page, that he is interviewing his musical heroes.
