Michael Willow and Angel Live, (an acoustic duet called : Peter and the Wolf) performing the song: Wicked little town (cover version). The original song is in the soundtrack, Hedwig and the Angry Inch written by Stephen Trusk, sung by John Cameron Mitchel.

One of the most distinguished guests during my radio shows in City International (Greece) was Nikki Sudden. The Berlin-based British musician talked about his career, his shows in Greece, his encounter with David Bowie and played some of his most characteristic songs.
Nikki was an impressive individual. Well-dressed and well-mannered, not in the least snobbish as some lesser than him musicians often are, a genuine rock n roller who fought for his art. He gifted me two of his albums, “The Last Bandit” and “Treasure Island” (the latter with an autograph in the booklet). When I learned about his death it was difficult to believe that the cause was drugs. The alcohol scenario (as I was told by a journalist of City International) sounded more likely because he didn’t seem like an addicted person to me. They say that he had a heart failure while asleep and never woke up.
