Tricky and Topley-Bird recorded four albums together, with Maxinquaye being the best known of the lot. They’re playing together on three occasions in late April, in Bristol, Manchester and London. The last time I saw Tricky he could barely speak, but I’m sure Martina still has her voice, and there was lots of great music on their early albums.

I’ve always thought Martina Topley-Bird is one of the best names in rock and roll!
