just listening to the 1980 dec. Newcastle show, and there mark tells "the story" after playing Sultans, and talks about going to the pub with his brother drinking beer and playing pool.
so maybe someone could carefully ask David if he remembers the actual pub?
the audio quality is better (far!)on the boston show, a bit earlier that same year, listen to that one. but the sultans bit he only tells in newcastle, i believe...


I found the Newcastle show on YouTube. First time I've heard it. The Les Boys story though! Man, Mark talks for a long time there. And the disco music - just hilarious.


Do they play Les Boys with the disco intro and the whole thing?


Yes, they do  ;D  Great. Great sound quality too.

Anyone remember the DS book written by Michael Oldfield?

The story is there.

The pub was in Greenwich, called the White Swan and that was before David shared a flat with John. Actually when that happened David didn't met John yet. David was living in a shared apartment in Greenwich and MK visited him frequently. They visited that pub frequently too.
You might get lucky, now and then

Exactly
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home
