Wire 154 10/13/19 They turned down all touringWire: Colin Newman, B. C. Gilbert (vocals, guitars); Graham Lewis (vocals, bass); Robert Gotobed (drums). Additional personnel: Hilly Kristal (vocals); Tim Souster (electric viola); Kate Lucas (alto flute); Joan Whiting (English horn); Mike Thorne (keyboards).
