One day I will tell you how we got The Model to number one in the UK singles chart, turning the Krafties into a worldwide phenomenon.

 

The Sweet? Great band. Saw them at the Rainbow. Did they ever kick ass!! They rocked as hard as anyone I've ever seen. Didn't work with them as they were with RCA. I heard they were VERY naughty boys, true S & D & R & R if you know what I mean. Not many people know that the lead singer Brian Connelly was the brother of Taggart actor the late Mark McManus. There's been a murrrrder! Pip pip! Lord Chas

I knew! Also know the band currently known as The Sweet are at Chatham Central Theatre in June as part of a 70s show...

 

Sorry. I'll be quiet now...

I once had dinner with Les McQueen from Crème Brulee. As you are all well aware I'm sure Crème Brulee did the Eurovision Song Contest in 1981, almost beating Bucks Fizz to represent us that year.

 

I'm not sure he's over it still

You do then realise Chas, that you are personally responsible for 'dance music'? Every popular dance act since the 80's has named Kraftwerk as a musical influence!

[Charles Webster]

A certain Mr David Jones of Beckenham was/is also a disciple. Bowie to you. This wasn't dance musio - this was the birth of minimalism through electro. It was other people who took it to disco - not Rolf and his mute sidekicks.They were NEVER into dance music, to them it was all about ART. They were more like Gilbert & George or the Bauhaus movement than pop music. They were revolutionary geniuses and, in their way, as influential as the Beatles or Pistols.Pip pip!

So we have you to blame for this, Chas?

He did a gig at the Central pub, and got booed out of the place apparently.

Lucky he got away that lightly from there!

[Charles Webster]

It wasn't the Central - it was the General Gordon on King's Farm, before it became a no go area according to the police and before he discovered Kraftwerk. In an unconnected story, Marty Wilde was once bottled off at the Co Op Hall in Harmer Street and vowed never to play in Gravesend ever again. Ever. And guess what? He didn't!!

[American FLEET FAN No1]

I could show you some scars collected at the Co-op Hall...............But that was just from climbing up the lamppost to get in the Gents toilet window!

David, is that a reference to EL&P? If not, sorry. If so, they're still the only band I ever paid to see live. Cut my teeth on their albums.

[David Holden]

It certainly is Robert.
