Thank you very much. Fantastic.
In festive thanks for all your efforts Gobshyte, here's something I upped just recently:
"The Live Music Hour Broadcast Sun 5 Dec 2010 04:00 BBC 6 Music. The Boomtown Rats get the Live Music Hour started with a set
recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1982. Our 1st session comes from a band that are still going strong, it's Bluetones recorded
for 6 Music in 2006. To conclude this morning's Live hour, it's Here and Now recorded in 1978 for John Peel."

cheers dave sez!
Memories indeed. The first 12 inch I ever bought was 'Looking After No. 1'....in the Dandeloin Market which I'm sure you remember well Gobshyte. It cost me 98 pence and I must've been only 6 years old at the time. Only regret was that my mother wouldn't let me cut out the Rat armband (which was on the sleeve) to wear :-)
Thanks very much I love the Rats myself never heard the Peel Sessions. Yeah Dublin was great back in those days I loved it
Thanks for the Boomtown Rats post. Their Saint Patrick's Day show in Boston after Fine Art of Surfacing came out is one of my favorite concerts ever.
