Jimi Tenor live at the Institute
"December
6, 1996. The anniversary of Finland's independence from the Soviet Union (sic) and, as far
as the staff at the Finnish Institute in London are concerned, the perfect excuse for a
party. And who better to enterntain the assembled collection of bemused embassy (sic) top
brass, trendy young urbanites and waitresses in bizarre rubberised costumes serving
intriguing Scandinavian delicacies and free Finlandia vodka, than sparkling (his jacket
anyway) techno cabaret star, Jimi Tenor." - Rupert Howe in NME (New Musical
Express), February 1997.
