That's touched me and made me think about where I was at that time in my life.
It always seems strange, as these aren't people I know, but I miss Billy Mackenzie, Mark Hollis from Talk Talk and Billy Franks from The Faith Brothers - they all had a big impact on my younger days.

If you’re impatient just cut to 6:35...
