Love it, still have a framed poster from the series of gigs in The Purty Loft hanging on my stairs. It was around the time this single came out. I miss this band even now. Thanks for posting. Ah the memories.
Joanne does and did smile beautifully, but if you weren't tuned in to a certain vibe, you might have missed it. and yeah, who is on drums here? They went through a few drummers at a certain time.
Eamon has a great band, The Racketeers and he also performs under his own name, Eamon Dowd. He's on Myspace and Facebook, to my knowledge. His music is, in my opinion, still brilliant - check it out. I still miss the Swine (I lived in Walters!) but Eamon's stuff these days more than compensates for their demise!
Myself and my (now wife) girlfriend used to watch these guys back in the '80s - even though the lead singer never smiled - they were excellent! - great to see that their digital imprint on ytube will ensure that they are forever timeless (where are they now????)
great anymore video...i have a tape of them such a great voice think dolores o riordan listened to them as well kev

I guess if you liked this you might like 'The Glee Club' which the lead singer was in after here. Two songs posted here called 'Need' and 'Blame'.

Thank you for posting this classic. I was hoping someone, someday, somewhere would have this. It's made my day!
