It was billed and announced as an hour-long "poem"

about a Cornish youth club in the 1980s. Although it didn't seem anything like a poem - more like a one-woman play - it was hilarious.

As somebody who grew up in the 1980s it was easy to identify with the situation Neary was describing.

But today's teenagers might have cringed appreciatively at the description of the one "trendy" item of clothing, bought from a jumble sale - the oversized purple batwing jacket - or regarded it as a cool, retro item.

There was a mixture of nostalgia for an era many are glad has gone, as well as audio reminders of genuinely great, but long-forgotten songs, such as the Bee Gees You Win Again.

And Jo Neary's characters were only a batwing away from the horrible truth about 1980s youth, with just slight exaggerations to bring out the humour.

It wasn't the most polished performance ever - some of the female characters were hard to distinguish between - but despite being a work in progress it still worked.
