Bloody love their music though

@MarthasGinYard Level 42 web digest was a fan forum run by Morgan Roussel, Level 42 guru.

Very lively in its day there was later some acrimony, shall we say, between some members.

I met up with quite a few people at various gigs. Good times.

Lucky you. Absolute class. Leaving Me Now is outstanding but also love The Sun Goes Down, Something About You, Running in the Family..

I don’t mind a bit of It’s Over not always popular with the purists. Draw the line at ‘Tracie’ mind!
