Always happy to share this one.

15th December 1979 and members of Sheffield bands Clock DVA, Stunt Kites, I'm So Hollow and Vice Versa gather to have their photo taken by Pete Hill, ahead of the release of "1980: The First 15 Minutes" on VV's Neutron Records label.

Remembering Judd and Steve Chapman.

Long gone, not forgotten.

Seeing Billy Idol singing One Hundred Punks live just after meeting him and Steve Stevens will always be the top of my "I lived that moment" list.

But, If I was lucky enough to meet Martin Fry from ABC with my wife and hear him sing "Look of Love" and "When Smokey Sings" live, it would be such a close second to Billy Idol that "Mere mortals" like us could not see the difference between the two.

I really love ABC.
