When I was much younger, a group of friends and I did something very bad to Chris De Burgh's website. It was so bad it got into the Sun's Bizarre Showbiz column. One day I'll dig out the cutting and scan it in to show you all.
I used to have a couple of his albums & have seen him in concert a few times. His early stuff is not at all bad, the "Lady In Red" schmaltz made more money, that's all. He was a good friend of one of the local Radio City DJ's Phil Easton who sadly died a few weeks back. A great influence on (some) of my musical tastes..
My first 2 gigs, Chris de Burgh & The Boomtown Rats, no wonder I grew up strange....
Looks round at huge pile of LP's & CD's. Bach to Black Sabbath, Thelonious Monk to This Mortal Coil....Arvo Part to Pet Shop Boys...Chris de Burgh to Cocteau Twins...
All music is good to someone at some time.
I can even sing along to Abba.....
