Memories
I was a massive fan of the Thompson twins but my dad used to do a really bad impression of them, I’m sure if I mentioned them now he would do it again 39 years on.
I loved Howard Jones and Nik Kershaw and you don’t tend to hear them on the radio much. I saw Nik Kershaw at the Shepherds Bush empire in about 1988 which felt really retro at the time. He has played there this year.
