Re: Bands from the 80`s
SPANDAU BALLET, Gold and my favorite Through THe Barricades.
Tony Hadley sung at "The Hastings Beer And Music Festival" 2 years ago, which I helped organize. I thought that I would get to meet him but I sadly didn`t. Also sadly it was a bad idea as we lost money. We were lucky to make a massive recovery the next year by having KEANE , who are from Battle, where I used to live. They were at the G8 concert the next night. AWESOME

Fashion.........double breasted shirts and those tea towel things that you drape over one shoulder.

Does anyone remember The The - Infected. I love that song.
What about Big country and The Alarm - saw both of them in concert. The Pschydelic Furs were good too.

Re: Bands from the 80`s
Okay here's how sad we are:
Missus loved New Kids on The Block (Who??)
For me apart from MADNESS, BAD MANNERS ETC there was Adam & the Ants (Bought their CD last year again), 5 Star (used to work with Lorraine Pearson - she was a receptionist at our work, now reformed in USA), THE ONE AND ONLY "GREEN DOOR" Shakin Stevens, and my fave who I went to see afew times but no ones remembers them....
Weve got a Fuzzbox and Were Gonna Use It...Pink Pink Sunshine and all that!!!
Those were the days....Remember AHA being number one when I had my first ever leave in the Army.....Old bugga....
