omg! I used to go the Sports Centre discos. They used to hold them in the room where the gym is now upstairs but they got so big that they took over the main sports hall! Fab!

I know that song well - didn't realise it only got to number 50! lol

I never realised that it only got to number 50 either. I remember hearing it at most discos, Sports Centre, Era, school etc.....Aaaah, memories.

Re: Hi all

Glad to see so many people remembering Klacto, usually people look at me blankly and say 'eh?' !! Bring back Blue Rondo a la Turk I say. I still have my trusty 7" vinyl copy! I used to go to a disco on Knowlmere St and also one at St Nicholas' school....actually I had a far better social life then than I have now!! <drifts off into happy memories....>

Re: Hi all

Hee hee, just had to check your profile to check your age.

No age, but you're female, so at least you didn't wear a Blue Rondo type zoot suit!

Re: Hi all

I'm 40, which is weird because I pass for twenty eight in a dark room.

Loved Haysi. Did you know she is Limhal's sister, and used to be a life model at Wigan college.

Best 80's band for me was Bauhaus, followed by Siouxie, who were still going strong.

Re: Hi all

Never knew that about the girl from Haysi, Kate summat wasn't it? I have a real soft spot for all that early 80s stuff, but my 'serious' fave bands were/are The Smiths and The Waterboys. Certain songs from the early 80s used to just 'get' me, remember Duel by Propaganda? Oh I could go on all night....

Re: Hi all

Scritti Politti were my 'absolute' favorite at the time.

Also loved Bauhaus but prefered Creatures to the Banshees.

My cat is called Dolby in honour of Thomas Dolby because he's a Tom cat.

Re: Hi all

It's a bit shocking all these people on here still remember Bauhaus, Thomas Dolby, Blue Rondo A La Turk etc, it's a wonder John Foxx hasn't got a mention.

Re: Hi all

When I was doing art foundation at Blackburn before moving away, the number of local 80's weirdos was quite small, myself included of course.

There was a Gary Numan clone in Clayton, or Harwood, a year older than me, I hope it's not you!

Re: Hi all

Sad thing is I can remember seeing them in 1980 very strange stage set

Mind you saw Bauhaus the same year, a lot more interesting.
