Prefab Sprout - A Prisoner Of The Past (National Lottery)

[Robert9751]

Exacty - it's the playback at fault not the band - but what really pisses me off is that Wendy has been so sidelined that she is barely there - no wonder she decided not to record with Paddy any more

[simasgar]

Fucking playback !!

[sinbad0910]

probably their finest hour though no-one seems to know it?

I remember this when it was aired. I married my now wife later that year, Prefab Sprout and Andromeda were the soundtrack to our love. Aww! Love the band, love Paddy. The new album is fab.

Blame the BBC for the miming, not Paddy; who cares anyway when the aim of the appearance was surely to bring the work of this genius to a larger audience.

Nicely done link by Bob, ever the pro! Especially seeing as he probs didn`t know who they are.

That's not Neil Conti on drums! Who is that and I wonder why Neil wasn't there? I love Prefab Sprout; I love Paddy.

[bootray]

@Aviva2121 I believe that Neil (and Martin?) had quit the band during that period.

Great song - Paddy is a genius. He looks uncannily like Macca on here!

[lowlights]

So sad that he lip-synched.

[westlifehateclub]

Love PS but this was mimed - shame.

[destructivedandy]

Wow I remember them performing this on the lottery, saturday night mid 90s, Bugs and the lottery and then Casualty haha

[ghicaccatta]

I'm someone you wouldn't wish to see

[theghost12]

I don't believe Paddy sang live, shame really, sounds great live.

[williehackitt]

brilliant probably to good for the masses
