I think you hit the spot there Lettie, no-one had just one fav band everyon liked lots of stuff! and of course there's some of Lar-de's originals on here! didn't it open in 82/83? we used to go on a Thurs night then get up for school the next day! and I think about once a month we used to hit the cats wiskers!

Littlemo, have very fond memories of Lar de Dars, and having to get up for school the day after. Was supposed to be for over 25's when it first opened but we always used to get in (I've always looked haggered) :

 My dad once caught me up there and went mad [smiley=cursing.gif]

New Era was cool in the early 80's and all the new romantic stuff. Went to see Human League last year, and they are still brilliant. Kim Wilde was playing and Altered Images they were quite good. Dollar, Visage, Belle Stars and 5 Star were also playing, and they were so bad they were funny [smiley=lol.gif]

omd..............

lettie · 14-10-2003, 21:45

Loved Depeche Mode and OMD, but never got to see them live. Went to see Madness, Squeeze, Soft Cell, Numan, also saw Erasure down at London Docklands but that was in January 1990, so doesn't really count. Love 80's music, but really will listen to anything, have a very varied collection of stuff, ranging from Nat King Cole and Nina Simone to the Manics. I rarely get time to listen to my cd's they mainly gather dust, but would not part with any of them. ;D

jason · 14-10-2003, 21:57

i should be going to bed but what the hell............i listen to allsorts,i was a dj for 13 years(mobile)so i have quite a collection of vinyl and cd's.

Thought you might have been, as you seem quite knowledgeable about music.  80's will always stick in my mind, as I was becoming old enough to be interested in music, dancing, make - up, and generally loafing about and having a good time. Went to school with a few hangovers, and how I ever passed any exams is beyond me. Will always have a soft spot for 80's music. ;D
