Many decades ago I was junior part time assistant understudy roadie. Good times. Explains the ringing in my ears.
Level 42 used to do Guildford as their first gig before a tour and I got to setup the PA before the concert. I had not really heard them before but watching them setup changed things for me. When Mark King played the bass it was wow. I have followed them ever since, great band, especially live.
The music of that period was all a bit bland and could have been constructed on a BBC B (early 8 bit home computer for those..) this stood out for me. Having said that I do wish they had removed Mike Lindups mic so he could not whistle over the tracks.
I'm a big fan of traditional music ... but there's traditional and there's 'traditional' ... sorry it's a Facebook reel but it popped up unannounced on my page and moved my heart from 2000 years ago ...
Ok so not night time yet, but it is Saturday, and as it seems some may enjoy watching happy people dance to the Music of ELO, this is how they did it in The Emerald Isle...
