''The band were brilliant on the day of the shoot, between the two lockdowns, and jammed on John Coltrane’s version of 'My Favourite Things' between takes, which meant I got a private musical performance of one of my own favourite things in a year where I have rarely seen anything live.'' That's huge Evan Parker fan and Vortex regular Stewart Lee in an article for comedy website Chortle on working with Asian Dub Foundation on their excellent collaboration reinventing Lee's sketch based on ex-UKIP leader Paul Nuttall's dyspeptic ramblings on foreigners generally. 'Comin' Over Here' is a fundraiser for Kent Refugee Action Network and is hoping to make no. 1 in the pop charts just as Britain finally ends the transition period later this week. Worth your support and a reminder through its satire that the Tory party who brought us the ''hostile environment'' and calamity of Brexit goaded into it by UKIP has a lot to answer for. Don't be fooled again, folks, especially the deeply deluded who voted for them in such large numbers a year ago. You know who you are.
