Your preview of Katie Melua at Arundel damned with faint (if any!) praise (The Argus, August 27).

To equate her with drivetime radio, swinging pop cover versions and jazz-lite totally ignores the brilliant Closest Thing To Crazy and Nine Million Bicycles In Beijing.

Next you'll be saying Mike Batt is only memorable for his Wombles output.

On the same page your reviewer raves about Nick Cave, the ultimate BritHove rock poseur. Alexandra Palace was, indeed, a suitable backdrop for his Victorian melodramatics.
