    Oh dear. And I used to be a music editor (but not in the ’80s).

    Only band names I recognise are Icehouse and Yazoo. Iva Davies (from Icehouse) is brilliant. I was standing next to him at an awards night a lifetime after I had been a fan and I totally didn’t know what to say to him.

    Aneka takes me back… “Mr, can you tell me where my love has gone, he’s a Japanese boy…” Terrible, wasn’t it?

    Vince Clarke from Yazoo (Yaz) was creepy. Wasn’t he also in Depeche Mode?

    Yes he was, Dawn. Both creepy and in Depeche Mode.
