Ahem.. During a time when the charts actually meant something they had 23 Top 40 hits. Nine Top fives (inc a number one - the above). One of their Greatest Hits albums supposedly topped the charts too but I havent been able to confirm that.
Romeo Challenger was some dude... suspected faither to Dion Dublin, played at youth level with Peter Shilton not to mention being a pop-star. Now compare that to those in JLS, One True Voice etc!
Roaming Roots Revue tribute to Levon Helm at Celtic Connections last night - what an amazing concert. An astonishing line-up, each of whom did something of their own and something of the Band's catalogue. Brilliant.
Anything by The Alarm?

ReplyDeleteBTW
East Kilbride
Aviemore
Glenrothes
Linlithgow
Aberdeen
and
Kilmarnock
are the only Scottish gigs in the band's 40th anniversary tour this year.
I imagine they'll be playing all the hits so not to be missed.
There's not enough Showaddywaddy on GIO.
