July 1999 |
From: John Dickinson on 2 July 1999
Hello,
I have just found this site. I'm Bruce and Jim's father, and can really claim to be the number one fan!
It's good to find people who still remember the band. The fans were the most committed and friendly crowd you could ever meet, and probably thought the band were much bigger than they actually were. They all bought the single as sonn as one came out, giving it a top forty place, but only for a week usually, and then it woud drop out. All this was really generated from the band's own touring, as the radio never played the songs more than two or three times, so most people never heard them.
I still think they were the best live band at the time, giving a performance of such quality and musicianship, that was full of energy and excitement, and were greatly underrated by many.
Bruce is now teaching and managing at the Academy of Contemporary Music, in Guildford, which is fast becoming the best place in the country for modern music courses, and Jim has put together the 'Younger Younger 28s' which is an elctro-pop band, very good fun to watch, catchy but quite ineresting on many levels. They just played Glastonbury- watch out for the singles. One is coming out soon called'Next big Thing'
All the best John Dickinson.
