I first heard about this group in late 1982. Whatever happened to them? Was there a followup to " Pelican West "? This song " Fantastic Day ", along with " Love + One " would wipe the floor with today's pathetic excuses for contemporary songs.
Nick Heyward is so cute! As in the English cute, I think Americans use it to say someone is attractive, but I mean it in the sense that he is sweet. Like a puppy
By far my fav band when i was in primary school, i think i was obsessed, my older sisters used to tease me about it as they where Adam and the Ants fans lol, Nick Heyward used to like wearing the white Cricket Jumpers, you know the ones with the big V-Neck. i had a phase where all i wore was white knitted V-Neck cricket jumpers, and yes, i tried to copy the hair styles too, lol its really bad when i think back. Soo Embarasing, now that i'm older, ok alot older, i can appreciate the music more.
The rhythm excellent, the saxo so clear..the tune : Way ahead of their time! Full of light, life, colours...Fantastic song that can turns my day..Even if it was awful!
Was Nick on the dating circuit in Weatherfield, Greater Manchester about 20 years ago? - He doesn't half look like David Platt (off Corrie, not the fat ex-footballer)!!!
@Marigen1971 The 80's was the future, thus the dislike for what I have now. Actually, I don't hate my life. I just wish I could do it all over again. But, that's everybody's story.
Great memories of 80s, I am sure I worked with Graham Jone's Dad (Dave Jones) at a company called Muirhead in Beckenham, between 1975 and 1977. He was always talking about his guitar playing son. Anyone got a contact for Graham ?? Would like to know how he and his Dad are doing.
I was wondering where my brother was sitting in the car on this low budget video CLASSIC from the Cut. But then I noticed he was literally Drivin' Mr. Hair100 around like Morgan Freeman with that one dude with the really bad complexion blaring saxophone magic right into his ear!!!!!! How was he suppose to hear if a train was coming or something? Careless behavior for one of me favorite bands! Pelican West is one of the greatest albums right up there with "Band on the Run"-Joe Jacksons "Night an
Well I can find a funny feeling Funny as a smile When your mouth is all dry Why? Fantastic day! Well it's a fantastic day! I know I've lost myself again True love has past me by I tried to shave myself Be a happier guy Night and day
Well there's a great amount of strain About getting on that train Every day and every night The only thing that makes it good Is seeing my favourite sight Prance and flutter stride down that green escalator yeah When I'm getting off my train And my love is on my brain Every day and every night The only thing that makes it right Is seeing my favourite sight Crying in the night with the summer in her eyes tonight Fantastic day!
well we were Studying Karate at the same time and would sometimes hang out, i think he had the hots for my sister at the time. Then he just dissapered and the next time i saw him he was on tele in Haircut 100
this song had 100,OOO views at least ,on a previous site,until a racist argument screwed the lot up,you tube needs to find a way of sorting shit out,and not making the genuine people suffer
