@reneelenzmann Ah, Swansway-what a band! What a shame they were so short-lived. I was lucky enough to see them in Liverpool and it was a great gig. 'Soul train'....top single of the 80's?
@ItsTheSlug If it was the nighclub opposite where Park Lane bus station is now, then I was there too, fantastic! I remember psychedelic water projections on the wall but cant remember the clubs name. must be my age lol
This band has one of the neatest rhythm sections in Christendom. Tight and disciplined but strangely, kind of loose at the same time. I miss these guys.
Thanks for putting this classic performance on You Tube. I have it on Betamax tape, in storage. If I can't get it to play when I eventually settle down, at least I can now watch it here.
Anyone know what happened to the members after they prematurely broke-up? Wouldn't you just love them to re-form? Time couldn't dent coolness like this, surely!
OMG Where did you find this? Been looking for ANYTHING by them for decades! I wish they'd reissue their albums on CD.. Got more of them mate? THANKYOU SO MUCH for posting this!
Brill track need it as a download! Brill dancing dancing too!

I remember this from the 80s, I had the single. It's really great to hear it again. Shame the sound's not clear, though.

Roger Taylor of Duran Duran recommended checking this out on his December 13th, 2010 duranduran [dot] com blog. I am glad he did.
