It's not Les I'm afraid. Paul from the band shared a flat with Pete de Freitas (Bunnymen drummer). Pete actually played drums on the original recording of this and I believe actually funded the recording.

One of the great songs of 82 . 1/4 of a century on it remains as powerful and beautiful. What had been myth is now again real.

A great 'lost' band, yet another number one single in an alternate universe, and fantastically clear filming.
Thanks.
