Fairground Attraction - Perfect TOTP XMAS

Christmas 1988 TOTP performance of this song. Eddi Reader is more concerned with feeding the audience than miming to the song!

Eddi reader delibetately ate the orange and didn't try to mime convincingly in protest cos they wouldn't let her sing live. I remember watching this at the time.

I so remember this, Dear Eddi deliberatly not playing the game with TOTP saying no live performance and insisting performers lip sync. :-)

what the hell, picking at an orange when your meant to be performing, bit random init??

[wrestlingnewsdesk]

I love the way she protests, as soon as TOTP got rid of live performances it really p-is-sed me off. I was only 12 or so at the time but I felt the difference! Good on you Eddi and great tune

I love how she stuffs a load of orange peel into the guitarist's mouth just at his big solo

This is so great. "The First of a Million Kisses" has been one of my favorite albums since I first played it at the college radio station where I worked. Find a vinyl copy, it sounds infinitely better that the CD! The guitarron has a warmth and fullness picked up by a diamond that no laser can match.
