Spandau Ballet

Never forget the moment our train pulled into the station at Spandau on the way from Berlin to Hamburg.

A lot of startled and bewildered German commuters stunned at 12-15 drunken Englishmen standing from their seats and bawling out "Gold always believe in your soul"

Wanted to work at Arena for Spandau Ballet but we're at home so cant make it. Some good stuff coming up next year at Phones 4 U Arena... and some really not so good stuff.

 

It was looking like I had to go to an Il Divo concert there last month but managed to dodge that particular bullet.

When Spandau Ballet started having hits around 1981,Punk had died,Post punk was getting tired,Disco was becoming tedious.

Their debut single "To cut a long story short" sounded fresh at the time  and some of their subsequent stuff was well written and well sung imo.

So all in all, they deserved their place as one of the biggest bands of the decade.

I must admit to being a bit of a fan of cheesy 80's music though.

They were pretty and pretty good. For the time.
