Hawt Bhoys In Black And White
Shared a very similar photo in colour recently. Love it in black and white too. They’re such lovely looking boys! Even Derek 😉 (I’m joking! – and I mean I’m joking about the “even Derek” bit. Big Dan has his own “hawt” thing going on – he’s just not MY particular cup of chai)

Brooding Bunch
The young bhoys. At top from left to right: Brian McGee, Derek Forbes, Mick MacNeil. Bottom, left to right: Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill. Ooh, they are so serious! Jim is brooding and smouldering!! Charlie looks a bit pissed off and sad – which is ssooo odd for Charlie!
Sparkling Portraits

Changeling German Seven Inch Picture Sleeve 1980
German single release of Changeling. The lead and subsequently ONLY single off the Real To Real Cacophony album. The single was released January, 1980. I much prefer this cover to the UK cover. At least we get to see the lovely bhoys on this cover 🙂

The baby boys, circa 1980. From L to R: Derek Forbes, Brian McGee, Michael MacNeil, Charlie Burchill, Jim Kerr.
