First ever single bought in the 80's 'This Ole House' by Shakin' Stevens (Hmmm !)
Loved Haircut 100, 'Love Plus One', in the top 10 when we were drawn against Sheffield. Weds in the 1983 FA Cup Semi-Final.
Level 42 - Soul, Jazz, Spunk ! (pile of sh*te !).

Border Country
Paul Hewson and his lads weren't bad (Under a blood red sky; Joshua tree; Rattle and hum).

Also a favourite song "I think I might be happy if I wasn't out with them...its happy hour again".
