Yes I remember them well, there was guy called Paul played the guitar, sorry I don't have any of their music though wish I did.

 

thats them they were managed by tony hadley from spandau ballet,my wife used to work with one of the band called ricky

 

Did they play some of the soundtrack on the film When Saturday Comes?

Hi CW,

I've just come across this now and with it being so long ago, I'm not sure if there will be any response but here goes ...

To answer your question ... I have a full music cassette from Big Wide World and it still plays well!

It's coloured with their name plastered all over it in different shades of blue.

I met the band at Sheffield when I worked on security at the Meadowhall Shopping centre all those years ago and I was there when they held the premier film event for 'When Saturday Comes' with the brilliant Sean Bean. I was so impressed with this band when they played a few tracks that I approached them and bought this music cassette directly from them.

 

It was a great night  and one I'll never forget!

 

I must try and dig the cassette out as its packed away in stuff when I moved house last year. 

So many memories ... and great ones at that.

 

Regards

 

Jason
