Like everyone else was there and remember the rotten old benches collapsing when kids jumped up and down on them during 'Two tribes' by Frankie goes to Hollywood - I was an Echo and the Bunnymen fan who thought I was too cool for the whole thing; strangely didn't stop me going! Think every teenager on the Wirral was there that week. Great times and thanks for uploading this.

I was there for 3 of the 4 nights. Frankie Goes to Hollywood were running round the top of the walls, Eddie Grant walked round to talk to the crowd, Nik Kershaw took ages to come out. The light show for Spandau was great. The artists didn't sing live, but it was still a great atmosphere. Really miss that pool, and it never looked better than it did on those summer nights, waiting for the sun to go down so they could film. Good times.

I was there all 3 days in the backstage area ( the old Riverside ballroom) Eddy Grant had a massive strop! Holly Johnson sat on a tressel table & it collapsed! had a chat with the tiny Nick Kershaw & Spandau Ballet. Frankie, Spandau, Madness, Nick Kershaw, Helen Terry (who?) good times!
