Now That's What I Call 1983 - IVT1 now ..!

[jodee]

Takes me back to when I was 16 doing my O Levels, listening to Tony Hadley singing True ...

I saw UB40 live at the local Civic Hall, before they were famous

I caught the lead singers thrown beer can

I nearly pissed myself with excitement ( I was 15!)

Ah, dinny...that'll be red...red...wine then!!!
PS psychomum 5...they all fell out, in true pop-meltdown stylee!

No longer got the range but still v smooth

psychomum thats what I thought. Feeling all upset that he's singing the wrong tune

vom - christmas????

this is wrong wrng worng

you do not change songs we love!

Stop messing about with it Tony

what a show off

whats with elvis voice?

they fell out?????.....

Dinny, go on then, I'll come to an 80s mn night!

yay! have to have this baby first though

I think Tony Hadley is trying to be post-modern in his take on the song .... think Billy Mack in Love Actually 'it's christmas'. Unfortunately Tone, it doesn't work!

so, when is 1984 then???

I liked a lot of Spandau songs but not that one!
he can still sing though.

Sorry about double post...not up to speed with mumsnet posting anymore, but glad to know others are doing it too! Thanks to mumsnet posters, enjoyed sharing the 80's experience with you all! Night! Are they really doing 84? Back next week, if so!

Tone did fall out with the Kemp brothers big time, can't remember what about though - probably money...

Not an expert in posting links, so if it doesn't work, psychomum5, just google the band and you'll find out about the sad demise of balletdom!

...sigh.

17 in 1983, and would have poured derision on much of the music played on this show at the time...!

(New Order's Blue Monday excepted, along with the brief Bunnymen, REM and Clash excerpts...)

..what I can't figure is how come Howard Jones has MORE hair now than then....
