"On the plane back to Paris first thing on Wednesday, the French players will still not have realised the almost unbelievable scale of their sporting failure," the sports daily L'Equipe says.

„Even more rarely do they tell you who they are. Hats off to Earl Zinger (and the Red Egyptians) at Wolverhampton Civic Hall last Tuesday night for the opening remarks, 'We're here to warm you up for Zero 7.'Incidentally when was the last time you saw the last two bands in your music collection on the same bill? Thought not.Playing selections from Speaker Stack Commandments (!K7167CD on !K7 records) we were treated to a mix of ska, hip hop and dance/electronica. The four members of the band swapped instruments with ease and constantly reminded us to be warm ready for Zero 7.“
