TOTP from 1979

[Gal]

1979 was a big year apparently for TOTP - it was the biggest choice of genre at any given time One of my favourite years for music

I will alway heart Gary Numan's Cars I recorded a programme in the week about it all on BBC4, but not had chance to watch yet

I never realised that Gal but yes, when you think about it there was such variety of sounds around that time. It was around 78-79 that I started recording off the radio

Cars is such a great song, but Are Friends Electric? edges it for me.

Just rubbing in (once again!) the fact that I was at school with Gary Numan

LOL Yes you know me too well Jealousy is a terrible thing L.............

Shell I had heard that too, but he still managed to pass his 11 plus and get to the grammar school where I was. He was in the year above me at Ashford County Grammar....

I met David Bowie. He stayed in one of the hotels I worked at. He was charming. And I'm a die hard Bowie fan so it was amazing.

He gave us tickets to a secret gig in a tiny club in London. It was out of this world. An experience never yet topped.

[Kaz]

Oh wow now I am seriously jealous

How amazing that must have been!!!

I can't remember exactly when it was but it was around the time of Black Tie White Noise and Outside, so around 93 - 95.
