miserablewoman : "Next up are Polyphonic Size from Belgium, the band JJ championed many years ago and have recently reformed. Found this lot really confusing, two older blokes with two very young prepubescent girls on keyboard and guitar with two other girlies on backing vocals. Now the blond one stood our end of the stage was definitely worth catching and found myself watching her more than the images the band were projecting on the giant screen. (...) However JJ did join the band on stage to sing one song in French, and then a version of Do The European off of his debut solo album from 81. Hadn't heard that one for a while!!! He did manage to miss his timing on the second verse. C'est La Vie Monsieur B."
