Drumming up some 80s nostalgia

"David ‘Greenie’ Green drums across the world but this month sees the Low Fell lad return to the region alongside bona fide 80s icon, Adam Ant. Simon Rushworth spoke with him ahead of a duo of gigs..." #Antmusic2025

ANTS - NOT OVER THE HILL
#OTD 1980:

Record Mirror's Peter Scott runs a feature on "Probably the most neglected artist of our time", published 18/10/80.

In a world where techno speak and hi-fi
Weekly blows good songs away
In a world where cheap outrage
Average ideas lead you astray
It’s nice to know, I'm no yo-yo for Mr. Technology

It’s been real good, it’s the 80’s
And all I’m hearing lately is how marvellous it was in days gone by 👀👀👀

First there was the music, then the movie; later came the videos and then the licensed merchandise - but you ain't made it until you've been turned into a super hero.
