Hiya gang! Just a quick trivia question. I'm not a fan of the guy, but does anyone remember if Cecil played any Howard Jones songs at the Grove, between maybe 1980 to 1986. If he played any of his songs, I would imagine that they are slow songs, but I just cant recall. Anyone know? |

Morning..
Cecil definitely did not play any Howard Jones....1984 -1987 anyhow. Peak H.J.time would have been 1984/85 when he released the "Human´s Lib" Album. He was a good synth player that is for sure. Boppy stuff I know and of course not everyones´ cup of tea but I have the above Album and I play it from time to time. My daughter is good on the synth and she listens to this for basic mixes and stuff. Yes he released a few singles you would remember and the only one with ANY potential for a slowey would have been " Hide and Seek"..you would remember it if you heard it....check youtube.com ( if you are that enthusiastic - NOT ) !!!! He was the first person I saw in concert wearing one of those head mics. and I thought that was cool, that and his bright orange jumpsuit and docks... I thought he was magnificant flying from one keyboard to another with no back up from anybody....different. whatever yer inta as they say... Shant bore you any more..Dec 01 already. To-day will be a bad day for traffic, 3/4 of Madrid head on a weeks hol out of the city to their respective pueblos...lucky them.... ME

Re band spelling Mins, not even sure if I spelt it correctly - too lazy to check the single in the cabinet. Your Simon Templar lyric is correct, mad lyrics altogether.

Except for "Positively 4th Street" It was hard to get Cecil to play Dylan back in
the late sixties and impossible to get him to play anything by Fairport Convention or Steeleye Span. He was all "JeTaime" and PP Arnold and mushy stuff. |

Ho-Jo was definitely played, I thought it was "What is Love" (not sure about title, he was big for about 2 weeks back then, remember he even played at Live Aid!
Has nobody else mentioned the classic Rock the Casbah? with the "altered" chorus line that everyone used to shout? and of course Depeche Mode, I Just Cant Get Enough, which we all finished off with "Sex"? Or was that just me and my sad mates??  |

PS. Did Cecil play any Billy Idol...I am a huge fan of his stuff but don´t remember any tracks being played. I am sure I am wrong. Also he played " Rebel, rebel you´ve torn your dress, rebel, rebel your´re face is a mess....." WHO sang that ??? Was it Iggy Pop ???? Dunno.

Billy Idol sang Rebel Yell. Another big hit. Yep Cecil played the Smiths, Echo and Bunnymen. I'm sure he played Prefab's Jumping Frog. If not I deffo remember the song from the 80's.. I think but couldn't swear on it, that he also played Llyd Cole's Rattlesnakes - good song. Must dig out my vinyl LP again! We did indeed sing Depeche with the additional chorus - wasn't restricted to The Grove thing. It was all over Dublin if IRC. |

Forgot about the Smiths track, the opening line "all men have secrets and here is mine" always sparked a load of dodgy Morrissey-type arm-waving, also the Bunnymen, definitely remember The Cutter and Bring on the Dancing Horses went down well, Lloyd Cole too, Rattlesnakes and Perfect Skin, this forum is great for jogging the memory cells!
