The Tube – THE WHOLE EPISODE! November, 1982.
OMG! THIS IS SSOOO AWESOME TO SEE THE WHOLE EPISODE OF THE TUBE – OF THEM ON IT IN 1982. Oh, how I can dream to be sitting in front of the telly that night just…in awe of Jim. Needing a bucket in front of me to collect the drool! Dear God! What a gem!…

Minds Music Monday – Someone Somewhere (In Summertime) – Live
Today is the Winter Solstice. The shortest day in the northern hemisphere. Also Jupiter and Saturn align tonight to make what is deemed the “Christmas Star” – a once in 400 year alignment. And there promises to be clear skies over Glasgow this evening. Fingers crossed. Meanwhile, as we see in the Winter Solstice today,…

Weekend WhirliGIG Wish – The Tube, Nov 26th, 1982
A visual one for this week. Their Friday night appearance on The Tube. It went out live. There’s an audience there. We can call that a gig, not merely a TV appearance. (It’s also where the pic for the “whirliGIG” artwork came from). Enjoy…
Best. Video. Glitch. EVER!
No more words… ?? ?? I was just looking to grab a still to use…
