"Was, and still am, into all things Two Tone/Mod/New Wave for much of the early 80's (left my teens in 85)..so the early 80s were spent in Levi's, sta prest, Ben Sherman's, Fred Perry's (when they didn't cost the earth!) and Harrington's Musically it was Madness, The Beat, The Specials, The Jam, Secret Affair, Dexys, Blondie, The Undertones etc (all of which are still prominent in my record collection and gig going today)....as they moved on I did too and found bands like The Housemartins, Prefab Sprout and others. Even my dress sense these days is still informed by that era...will only wear 501's, prefer button down shirts etc...although my musical tastes are far wider now, even though Ms G says I'm stuck in the 80s still!!
Mr G". Loved the house martins and prefab sprout and my most favourite pair of jeans of all time were my 501's, some brilliant band choices and clothes choices mr g Mrs blue eyes | |||
