I almost saw them

They were supporting the Police at Wembley Arena one night - I was selling peanuts in the audience - but we were meant to leave when the bands were on.

that's a real blast from the past

were they your cup of tea yogi what was your fav music/band in your teens? and that question is for anyone else who would care to join in x

[yogi-bear]

Hi again zzxxee

I liked all types of music when i was a teen, but especially soul, jazz- funk and dance/"disco" tunes, to which i mainly played when starting out as a "jock"
I also liked The Alarm, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Adam and The Ants, Human League, The specials, Madness, The Associates, and many more.............great memories........and i still live and breathe music.......it runs in my family too........one of my three sisters worked on Top Of The Pops, amonst other music shows, and my dad's a musician. I'm not happy unless i have at least a few hours of music on, in a day.

love yogi xx
