Oh my – this was before Simple Minds became a bloated stadium band. They were humble electro folk when ‘I Travel’ was released and I picked up my single in Small Wonder Records in Walthamstow. Might be wrong, but I thought Mr Kerr once said he would never play monster venues – but anyway, he did and his bank manager has been thanking him ever since.
I'm Tony McMahon and I've had two books published set in this time of crisis. "Original Rude Boy", the biography of Neville Staple of The Specials. "No Place To Hide", the biography of 80s boxer Errol Christie. I was very politically active during this period - not on Thatcher's side!
