5 Puffs & A Capstan

Last night, in the frenzied aftermath of the Renaissance Woman's splendid birthday party, La V & I had a stunning insight - the future of the British music industry depended upon our plan to audition and manage a 5-piece gay boy band whose material would be hip-hop versions of traditional sea shanties. As with most such initatives, we thought up a really good name for the band - and then the project rather ran out of steam. So if anybody wants to take it up, we'd recommend approaching the tobacco industry for sponsorship.
