Sonic Tonix at the Oranges & Lemons in St Clements, Oxford

More grainy images from the distant past courtesy of my carpet-trousered friend Mr Warphole. This time the Sonic Tonix at the Oranges & Lemons in St Clements, Oxford, plus some unusual dancing and a musical trio under plastic. Oh, and a contemporaneous photographical artwork from the man himself.
