Ditto everything you said. And after being a fan since they won ESC 1981, I actually be seeing them for the first time this may at Butlins....As you can probably guess, I'm hoping for a repeat performance of this, their greatest song.
I understand Mike still has some memory problems, not unexpected for someone who's had the traumatic head injury he had. It might also be they hadn't rehearsed this one before the show, and from my own experience, acapella is not easy to sing without it. The original recording became a favorite for me the first time I heard it. Also, Shelley's filling in for Jay, who was on the recording, and it actually sounds better with a second male voice, which Bobby McVay provides now.
Yes, I believe so mutley26. I remember seeing, just a snippet of the video; maybe 20 or 30-seconds about 20-years ago, while I was enjoying a sandwich in a very noisy bar (well the NAAFI actually). I have always wanted to watch and listen to the full version of this video but so far...no luck I'm afraid! :-(
you gotta search under the name bucks fizz..you will find the original number as well or by related but this is Acapella and that doesn't sound good i agree with you
