There was a kid’s pop programme called Razzmatazz. It was produced by Malcolm Gerrrie, who was a friend of a friend.
I was teaching at the time and Malcolm regularly got us to bring a party of our school kids down to be the audience.
I got to hang out with some of the band members in the green room. Including Bow Wow Wow, Haircut 100 & Limhal from Kadjagoogoo, who was really called Chris and was another nice guy.
Once Martin Fry knew I was from Scunthorpe we had a Steel Towns bonding.
