If I had a time machine, I'd be back there with a flick on a switch, no beer belly, hair to gel and all the energy to go out partying all weekend. Great times

Always loved this track. Great vocalist Martin Brammer (bloke in the hat).

The Tube was a fantastic show had some brilliant bands on. Love the Kane Gang then and still love them in 2025.

Kane Gang on Kitchen records from the north east. I have just played this LP at breakfast time. It’s a legendary LP. 👍🏆

[markhudson]

Fantastic to see this again. Timeless classic

I thought they were playing live until the fade at the end, think the vocalists were live though. Loved this song one of my favourites from this era, very underrated band, should have been massive. I can't believe how apathetic the audience were.

[philipocallaghan]
