Then after that he formed Erasure with Andy Bell, and had numorous hits singles and albums.

Ode' to a boy was from 'You and Me Both' album, i also had 'Upstairs at Erics'. They were brilliant and were a big part of the 80s for me. Sorry to say i've never seen them in concert. '

I loved the New Romantic Fashion, and owned some brilliant clothes back then, although looking back at the old photos, they do make me cringe a bit.

 

i had a pair of drainpipes that were tighter than Tony Hadleys and shinier than Martin Fry's, it doesn't make me a bad person...does it?Cool

I actually wore a bright orange suit with a bright yellow shirt, and matching shoes and a matching strawhat and bag, to my cousins wedding in 1986. My mum has them photos thank goodness.

Only my Mum has these pictures and will not be seeing the light of day....for any price!!!SurprisedEmbarassed

Great to be here and share ......well I got the listen to the amazingly talented voice of Alison Moyet a few months back in her sort of home town of Southend (she a Basildon girl of course along with ????? Oh but that's insulting your intelligence - right ? If you really don't know - who did Alison bugy up with in Yazoo ????) That's your clue.

Well I have to say 1) she looked fab - really lost some weight - a tight figure hugging long black dress, but 2) and way more and better......that magical sultry voice....WOW...seems to tame a sentiment. She belted her hits out not with the backing of a synth but a grand piano and apologised for that fact. Invisible and Don't Go were just a few - the latter she said she never thought she'd sing again! What was also REALLY great was that she buggered around with the paylist. Some one shouted out for her sing Ode to Boy - is it? (from Upstairs at Erics) - she paused spoke to her band and announced...."ok playlist changed" - so easy for her. She started one song I'd not heard of before then after only a few socs stopped saying that she wasn't "feeling it yet". We were all in for a treat. Alison Moyet is a truly amazing recording artist with a voice unlike anyone else. When you hear it you know it's her. Roll on the next time she's in town.... and I thoroughly recommend go seeing her ...well HEARING her.

 

Anyone else seen her out there ?...recently?
