Nik Kershaw'S 1st Album.........ahhh!
That song ' I won't ket the sun go down on me ' drove me mad everytime i used to go in one of my local pubs. Shit song and shit album.

Nik Kershaw lives in my village which is probably the least cool claim to rock'n'roll fame anyone can any ever have for their abode. If I ever mention that in conversation I always follow it up with, "The Prodigy and Gary Numan live nearby too" to dig myself out of the shit.

Nik Kershaw is still prone to big himself up from time to time. A mate of mine works in the village butcher's shop at Christmas time and one year the great man himself came in to order two turkeys and then went to walk out of the shop at which point the butcher said, "Hang on mate you haven't told us your name" to which Kershaw turned 'round and glared at him. They didn't have a clue who he was and, quite incredibly, he expected them to recognise him.

Kershaw tales like these, of which there are many in the local area, always remind me of the bloke from "Creme Brulee" in "The League Of Gentlemen."

Passengers by U2
I used to think these Oirish lads were good, even through their dodgy Zooropa stage. Someone got me Passengers which was U2 with guests and it stank, REALLY stank.
Mind you, fine return to form with 'All that you can't leave behind'

He hasn't got have the amount of hair he had in the 80's. Infact i think he's bald these days!

beat this!!! when i was about 11 my brother gave me for xmax the partridge family christmas album. to this day he swears it wasn't a piss take!!!

the osmonds were worse believe me.

Well you can add anything by Take That and Westlife, Pop music at its worst.

Yes he is shaven-headed these days but I've only ever knowingly seen him once and only then it was because someone pointed him out to me. He must have been pretty astute with his earnings though as his house is massive and really cool. Gary Numan also lives in the area and his house is pretty modest and, in comparison to Kershaw, he seems to have taken the other alternative to hair loss and has invested in a big black rug that sits precariously atop his head! All the locals that know him say he's a top bloke though and he's certainly had his moments musically.

As for the other North Essex boys made good in the world of rock'n'roll I've never seen any of the Prodigy personally but there was someone tooling around in a Ferrari F40 recently that I reckon was Liam and I've seen groups of German fans in Braintree presumably trying to find where they live!

Is this Keith from The Prodigy and a lookalike?

I got an album by Modern Romance (Dodgy 80s briish pop salsa band).

What a bunch of knob jockeys they were.
