There were some good 80's tunes, they were mainly to be found in the 70's and 90's.
Mr Drummer you will love my vid. I love all your selection so The Sound should be right up your street.
I kind of missed out on them; mate I was in a band with a couple of years ago sent me some links.
Ooh this was a goodie. The gorgeous Harriet Wheeler and co.
Does anyone know why a third to half the links are blocked on an iPad?
And those that I can see some great tracks and long forgotten memories!
forgotten how good black celebration is.
ye gods I thought I was the only person who'd remember The Age Of Chance!
Awww,I was going to say this but I'm a year out!? Recorded in the 80's? ;O)
ooo killing joke- good call.
yeah, Tower Of Strength definitely 80s
The Bombay edit is amazing!
Anyone got the App 'mixerbox'? You can drop in all these youtube vids and play them. I downloaded it ages ago but haven't really used it yet.
Remember paying £ 5 quid to see these in Basildon
Here's a band that never quite made it... same label as Frankie and Propaganda.
The version of 'Homage to the Blessed' they did on the Tube was about 2 mins longer than the single version so I put it onto a cassette 🙂
Saw CFH and Tazzy's Fuzzbox links and thought, [s]mmm, Vickie Perks[/s] "where are they now?"
Seems they're here:
(Apart from the guitarist, who died from cancer recently)
Have enjoyed listening to Rattlesnakes this week
