Always liked this upbeat and original song.

I didn't know about that. Quick to jump on Cliff Richard in their righteous crusading, have they commented / reported on their former employee John Peel?

He got mentioned alot in a NSC thread about punk music a while back.

Loved his gig at Concorde 2, last year. A generous set of 2 hours, he unashamably played all classic New Order and Joy Division tracks. Not just a uniquely classy bassist, his vocals more than held up.

I never knew that about The Embassy. I am old enough to remember Brighton's 20 plus cinemas, and as a nipper was taken to The Embassy to see a couple of films. It might've been The Towering Inferno! Back to the music, a long time ago, but was the first The Jam gig good?

I know what you mean, but at the time I loved Blue Monday because we were heavily into dance music. Obviously it was New Order's break out from pure 'New Wave' to making clubbing music. But funnily enough, I've rarely played it in recent times. Temptation, Everything's Gone Green...

I envy those who saw The Jam and (early) The Police, plus obviously Joy Division. I just missed out, being a bit too young.

So much great stuff there. John Peel was a music and football loving legend. I'm lucky to have been at just the right age, to lap it all up at the time. It's great now, finding like minded classy folk on NSC. :smile::smile::smile:

A beautiful song: 'Untrendy' but I love this:

Hi. I know we've touched on Danse Society before. I saw them at Brighton's New Regent in the early 80's. Did you get to see them live in the UK or Canada? Regards

A Coasters nightclub classic and brilliant dance track at the time. Did you live in Brighton in the early 80's and frequent Coasters? Here's another:

Still brilliant now. At the time, I was told about this song early on by an older brother. I remember hearing it down clubs and bars such as The Electric Grape in Queens Road.

We saw a gig of theirs in the early 80's in Brighton. Possibly at the New Regent at the bottom of West Street.

Probably not popular in these NSC music parts, but I grew to appreciate this years later. Another dance classic from Moroder.

Brilliant song. Evokes great memories of going to tons of gigs in Brighton with school mates - New Wave, electro pop, and punk bands who'd evolved.

1983 - with Liz Fraser's stunning vocals.
