I went to see the Pinkees at the Red Lion in Brentford - good set as I remember.

Blimey this takes me back! 1982. I still have the 7" single somewhere. Great tune, real Beatles-meets-Squeeze vibe going on here. Did the guy playing the sunburst Stratocaster go on to play in the Outfield?

[Chris35005]

They used to play every week in a pub in Basildon. They came from the Essex area I think. Once they had the hit they stopped playing at the pub and the new group was rubbish.

Brilliant memories of first love lol

I remember this one very well, but could never remember the name of the group, hence it has taken me so long to track down on here.

One of the best songs of that year in my opinion. It was a well written song, had some very nice guitars on it, & was played by a band that could do it live!

It sounded great on medium wave back then, & still sounds just as good today :)

I even played this one at an audition I went to for a guitar job. I didn't get it, but what fun ;)

Thanks :)

Love the day glow-change of colour shirt. Where can I get one?

[Sangor]

What Can I say... that was fantastic, so good to hear this great band again.

[thefloorkiller]

Superb, 1982, I have the single, but great to hear them live, I think they were from the Liverpool area, still a fantastic tune.

[gmcalinden]

[manconoo]

I like my music...alot and am into pretty much alternative stuff-but i have to give these guys credit - that's a great little tune.Beatles and Buddy Holly hybrid.

[matrixsenior]

This was early on before they grew their famous mullett haircuts!

[brunster64]

Haven't heard this in years - great song. You all looked great despite being up all night! Hope the grannys didn't give too much hassle.
