I know I witter on about Jackie Leven But here he is in his 'Rock Band' days, before his mugging that lost him his 'falsetto' and led to him starting his heroin addiction charity

Brilliant.

I remember listening to this travelling down to Capri on a bus with my bike on the roof in 1985

A little bit tenuous but these are from one of the best albums to come out of the early eighties. The The Soul Mining.

Happy days, following Bradford CiIy up and down Divisions 3 and 4 "We want the stretcher on, We want the stretcher on, We want the stretcher...aaah aaah".

The instrumental version of this (Feel The Chant) gets regular plays Chez Fnaar... very funky tune.

I was in full Bauhaus and Birthday Party mode at this time so I can't really contribute.

I'm quite a fan of Duran Duran today, but in 1985 I was a bit angrier. Simon Le Bon owned a 78 foot ocean racer, Drum, that was practicing for the 1985 Fastnet off-shore race in the Solent. I was bimbling along in a twenty-six foot yacht and caught it on starboard tack. Normally I give way to bigger boats because it's quite a lot of hassle for them to tack, even though I had right of way. However, I noticed that Simon was wearing an immaculate white suit in the cockpit.....and held my course.

Sorry Simon.

Wee bit OT.... That yacht now belongs to Arnold Clark (major car dealer in Scotland) and is regularly seen on the Clyde. Mainly used for corporate sweeteners securing sales rather than pleasure cruising.
