Our friend ‘the doc’ built us a time machine out of a Honda pickup. We put Time circuits on, the Flux Capacitor was fluxing, the engine was running, it was time to head…. Back to the ‘80s! All right!In celebration of Katie’s Birthday, we transformed for one night only into a four headed 1980s jukebox. No stops were left unpulled this time around. From the cocktails (Sex on the Beach and Blue Lagoons, naturally), to the 80’s snacks, to the Jean-Michel Jarre laser and light show to the all pervading school disco frisson of sexual tension, bacchanalian doesn’t do it justice. They say it’s the decade that fashion forgot, but you lot didn’t look too shabby from where we were standing, believe us. Particularly you in the blue dress. Yes, you - poor Harry’s still reeling.
What a night! You lot were amazing, danced from start to finish and kept us moving too. Despite your enthusiasm though, most of these songs will never again see the light of day, at least on our watch – it really was a one night only job. But some of them were definitely for keeps - Video Killed the Radio Star, Crash, Personal Jesus – you’ll be hearing them again!
Overall, we all fell a little bit back in love with the 80s last night, but love can be a fleeting thing. ‘80s Britain was a nice place to visit, but we wouldn’t want to live there….
See you in Winkleigh - business as usual!
