THE HUMAN VOICE IS THE MOST VULNERABLE OF ALL INSTRUMENTS YET IT HAS BECOME THE SYMBOL OF DEGRADATION AND VALIDATION A FIVE HOUR DURATIONAL PERFORMANCE AS PART OF INTO THE NEW AT THE ARCHES, GLASGOW ON 15TH JANUARY 2014 |

| "...It was a definite highlight, as was F/K/Alexander's durational performance, I Could Go On Singing with its clever evocation of Judy Garland and how her life became a hostage to one song, Over the Rainbow. Every time a punter hands her a ticket, Alexander's 'Judy' - in trademark sequin tuxedo, long legs and sparkly red shoes - has to sing "that song" to them. By the nth reprise, it smacks of 'ten cents a dance' slavery, and how fame can shackle talent. All kinds of ramifications emerge, not least a sense of how the public can be tyrannical in adulation."
