this is truly crap. sad really, as not only were they a superb backing band for Numan (visual highlight being imo the TOTP This Wreckage appearance) but also did actually come up with some decent songe ontheir one and only album, in addition to those mentioned - eg. Take Me Home, Turn and On Reflection which featured a great viola middle 8 I am guessing perfromed by the peerless Chris Payne.
As the backing band for Gary they were superb-unfortunately their own material wasn't all that good (which was a shame) except for Love Needs No Disguise which Gary sang on & Ex Luna Scientia.
I've always been a fan of Dramatis; too bad this isn't one of their better songs (but it's better than "Lady DJ"); "I Only Find Rewind" would have been a better choice.
Still, great to see Rrussell, Chris, and Ced together.
What do you mean "session musicians" they damn well played hundreds of live concerts and were fucking fantastic, could play just about any instrument from classical to rock and would piss over 99.9% of musicians in the charts today.
The show was The David Essex Showcase - supposed to be an "unsigned" talent show but I think it was more likely used as a showcase for record companies' latest "talent"... :-)
This was a BBC 'talent' show (I can't remember the name) first broadcast on a saturday night. If I remember rightly they came 3rd. Thanks for posting, I've often looked for this.

I love this song! They were extremely talented and never, ever needed to be more talented than Gary, they did that themselves.

This is what happens when great session musicians get delusions of being better than the acts they play for. Very poor.

top musicians, but rrussell could not sing, and this has to be one of their weakest songs.
