I take it all of you posting are Brits. I am an American and when they were popular, I was working as the Asst. Buyer in the Record Dept. for a chain store. We got Nik"s album in on an import and I insisted it go into the stores. It did so well. So did Robin George. Whatever happened to him and Paul Young?
I think that if Nik Kershaw, Howard Jones, and Nick Heyward got together they would be unstopable as a group; because of there songwriting and understanding of music and lyrics.
Nick Heyward was actually there at this gig, as was Nick Beggs (from Kajagoogoo)...I don't know how Howard keeps them all straight-so many good friends named Nick (or Nik in Kershaw's case)... It would be sort of like hey Might Be Giants' when it was Two Johns and a Band of Dans-it would be Howard and a Band Of Guys Named Nick (or Nik)
Nik and Howard....for me the best of the 80's... i was lucky enough to see howard for the first time last year in osaka....gave him the double- handed hand shake after the concert...(think i freaked him a little) was the 25th anniversary tour.
This song takes me back to college and a running joke between my roomie and I on who had it better...Brings back great memories. This song is even better stripped down and with HJ on keys - Awesome!!!
thees are my fav guys together/ HJ is the synth genius.........thanks soooooo much for posting !! The tune is so relevant RIGHT NOW ...genius men.....
Wow...talk about amazing. I wish I could've flown to London and seen this in person. 2 of my all time favorite songwriters onstage together. Thank you very much for posting.
Love the respect they show for each other. They totally compliment each other on every level; pure pleasure to listen to this.
