This weeks show should see us joined by the elusive Green
Gartside from 80s band Scritti Polliti who over the past 3 years has proved to
be harder to find than the Scarlet Pimpernel !!
He’ll be talking about his music, his anxiety problems and
how it feels to be back on stage and making music.
Plus of course we will have 4 hours of great music from
the 1980s including all of your requests.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Mark King of Level 42 yesterday for his third appearance on the show.
For the full interview, listen in on Saturday when all will be revealed !!
I’m happy to say that 80s legend – and all round nice bloke – Steve Strange will be joining us on Saturdays show around 8 o’clock.
He’ll be live (although sadly only by phone !) and we’ll be playing some new tracks as well.
This weekend we went for our annual trip to Pontins for two nights of 80s and 90s. We ended up going with Jade and Aisha who although they’re both 18, as you would expect, spending time with me means that they’re both fans of 80s music !!
First up on the Friday night was “The Boy George Experience” which lived up to its name – he looked and sounded just like George did around 1985.
This was followed by the boys from “Re-Take That” who we had met up with in 2011. As expected they were a big sucess especially with the ladies !!
Finally we had the main headliner……American soul singer Alexander O’Neal who I’d been quite looking forward to. However due to technical problems, he did all the minor album tracks leading up to the two big hits….which then jumped on the backing CD so we managed about 45 seconds of Criticize and Fake before he walked off stage.
Saturday dawned wet and windy and so we left Jade and Aisha in bed and went for breakfast before going and waking the girls up for scrambled eggs and a walk around Southport town.
By 8 it was back into the main hall where “Ultimate Erasure” warmed the crowd up ready for the two main events of the weekend – Bucks Fizz and Chesney Hawkes.
A great night was had by all especially Jade who had decided that she’s marrying Chesney
The website wouldn’t be complete without a link to the song that gave it it’s name………….Enjoy !!
