Hard to compete with Danny Boy; and his Brilliant Olympic opening ceremony aftermath, but I think we had a good show…. we had the last episode of The Lighthouse comedy, special remix tracs from Ultravox and the Human league….comedy guide and gig guides.
Plus twofers was all about an American with a good sense of humour – Bruce Springsteen – we played . ‘Born to Run’ and ‘Hungry Heart’….luckily no one cut the power midway through this set
