    Excuse me for a minute while I muse out loud, I was listening to Radar Love by Golden Earring this afternoon, and without warning
    I memory popped in to my head of a telly special which was braodcast across Europe in the 80s', the format as I remember
    was a live show with each country represented by one band.
    Golden Earring I think were on show for the Netherlands.

    If I recall right Flo McSweeney presented the Irish link but I could be wrong, I cant remember the Irish band either.

    Was the event even called Europe a Go-Go? Anyone esle remeber this no doubt seminal pan-contenental evening?

    Speaking of dodgy live TV music events, anyone recall
    SelfAid.

    Agh! The idea of raising money for the unemployed now seems almost bizarre.

    What happened to the money...
