    Appears I have stumbled upon another soulmate on here.

    Another band that I was introduced to by my brother was Be Bop Deluxe. Smashing band and I also loved a lot of Bill Nelson's more surreal solo recordings.

    Me and BK up a tree.......kissing........

    Other unsung bands? Be gentle, be very gentle.

    Bill Nelson's Red Noise were also excellent Drew.

    "revolt into style " is a cracking tune, I had it on 12 inch blue vinyl back in the day.

    The Undertones ................... Sam and Dave ..................... The Clash

    Naw; but it is a long story. I think his Dad converted to Calvinism when he married my mate's Ma. His uncle (his Dad's brother) was Willie Finnigan who played right half behind 'The Famous Five'. I believe the rest of the family follow the 'Roman' way!

    There's loads of bands that should be bigger than Beyoncé imho but let me start with Band of Holy Joy. They had one top 40 single in the 1980s yet have produced so much material and gone through phases of different sounds using a multitude of different instruments, acoustic/electric, through the decades. Their lyrics are thought provoking and beautiful yet often quite dark and dismal. You can see why I'd never get a job with the NME. Let YouTube do the rest:
