neilnunb Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 One of the first bands I can really remember hearing as my mum liked them. Got the Tide is High single for a birthday (must have been my 6th), which I still have. Debbie Harry was amazing back in the day 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo-Jambo Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 The chat at school on the Friday morning after she had appeared on TOTP on the Thursday night singing Denis Denis is not printable here 😅. Really good tribute band called Dirty Harry is worth a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Fredrickson Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 She was on ToTP when I was at primary and it may have been Denis Denis but it was the start of things stirring below for me. She had the voice, the looks and some cracking tunes. Great band who I still listen to over 40 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
