Stumbled across some recent Johnnie Fingers activity on You Tube under banner of the above. Can't quite make out if it's just a project name or what. Seems to be a combination of music, original and other artists, and fairly arty videos, predominantly in Japan by look of it. Worth a look and listen. The...

That mystery song from Bradford
(Preview)
A subject that was discussed a couple of years ago, I wonder if anyone got to see and ask the band recently about a song played at Bradford University on the 23rd June 1983. I don't know the title but listening to it i guess it's something like 'Don't Feel Like Doing It'. Not sure if it would have been a song...

Banana Republic's surprise plummet?

I'd have said at Christmas, with intense competition and John Lennon's terrible death having a sales impact, this was a very credible performance...
