After a delicious debut in 2002 and a fun follow-up in 2006, London's Tender Trap is right on time for a revival. A revamp, too; Amelia Fletcher — twee royalty since the '80s, with Talulah Gosh and Heavenly on her CV — has brought a couple of new playmates into the fold. Dansette Dansette doesn't come out until next month, but an appearance at England Belongs to Twee should whet our appetites.
