SONIA!

Poor Sonia suffered cutbacks right at the start of her career. Two backing dancers on her first appearance in July, then down to one. By Christmas, she'd lost both!

Would have been amazing if that snowman behind her suddenly started dancing

All of the good stuff was way outside the top ten - god the crap people were buying en masse.

The sound of it was enough to induce them in me

Possibly to be found in Dalkey taking advantage of the tax situation.

Was Jason Donovan just constantly on the singles chart in 1989?

Welsh Megaman

A statistical breakdown of 1989...

33.3% Donovan
33.3% Jive Bunny
33.3% Megamixes
0.1% Good music

Let's just be thankful there wasn't a Jason/Jive Bunny megamix

1989 was possibly peak Jason Donovan before he swapped topping the charts for amphetamine and cocaine use. Pity he didn't start doing that before releasing this nonsense.

BBC Four looks to heading into TOTP 1990 next.

Sorry Ireland, I know nothing culturally of note happened in 1990, but just bear through it :pac:

Usually they air "The Story of " the year before they start showing the episodes for the year... I'm waiting for the Story of 1990

I don't think I've ever seen Snowboy on television. He played some storming latin jazz gigs with his band in the Tivoli in the 90's.

Yeah, The Story of 1990 was mentioned in a Press Release today but no transmission date

Some decent sounding shows listed here

From Bernie Marsden's FB

I can’t quite express my feelings this afternoon after learning of Peter’s death.
I’m just thinking of the times we spent together in the last couple of years, hanging out with him at his home was very special. A memory I’ll cherish. He made me laugh, cry, wonder, and never failed to make me pinch myself when we were alone one to one. There I was, sat with my hero.
As a musician I can only be one of the millions he touched, his talent for guitar playing, vocals and harmonica would have been more than most people could have possibly wished for, and then you add those wonderful songs, original, vibrant, atmospheric, outright psychedelic and so much fun, to listen to and witness. Those early days of Fleetwood Mac will stay in my mind forever.
Many more words will be written and spoken about Peter, but I will - very simply - just miss him.
This photograph was taken at his house in February - the day of the London Palladium show. He was in a cheeky mood, and when I asked him if he would like to have been in London, he shrugged a little, gave me a smile and said, ‘No, I’m having a cup of tea with you.’
He made great tea.
Of course. RIP PG.

Wait, do we chat here or in the lockdown thread?

I need to know where to post "who's this now?", and "Why are there so many bands that look like they might be rock bands but are actually all whiny little bitches?"
