National Pastime

[Rod Serling]

This was a Duran Duran type band from Manchester in 1984/5. They did a tour of schools just to get their name known by the kids, but they never took off. They had a few singles and an album "Built to Break", and were pretty big in Japan. They also did a Radio One 'in Concert', with Freur, who went on to become Underworld.

Does anyone know anything about them or what became of the members?

I was in it and did the Bass track on the single "All a game" I left before the Kajagoogoo tour and the Japan stuff. It's all a very long time ago

Hi,
I saw NP when I was at school in 1985. Followed them after that and even corresponded with the woman who ran their fan club, also spoke to their manager on the phone about doing a gig..Not sure what happened to them, sorry!! They were all pretty talented musicians which was rare in those days!
