So Adam Ant is 70 today. He was meant to be doing a show tonight in Manchester as part of his Antmusic tour but has cancelled the whole tour due to ill health, an inflamed throat being mentioned.
I get the point you made Robbie, and 1981 seems quite clear and not so far in my mind too, but what's interesting given what you said is that many of us in 2024 like listening to music from that year and earlier which still feels relatively contemporary even after 43 years, but if you went back to 1981 not many people other than our grandparents were likely listening to the scratchy old pre-pop era music of 1938 were they. The 43 years from 1938 unti 1981 seem like an emormous difference compared to the time between 1981 and 2024 even though it is actually the same length of time.
I started secondary school the month Prince Charming hit No1 that year. One of my first and enduring memories of starting that school was how they had a Friday lunchtime school disco and on my second day there, having begun on the Thursday, I walked in through the gates at lunchtime after going out home and coming back to Adam & The Ants literally blowing the school hall roof off it was so loud I could even hear the music before arriving ar the school gate. I couldn't believe my new school was so cool and allowed that kind of thing. |

They might get a refund but they won't get the booking fee back. A nice little earner for nothing.
Some booking fees are anything from £1 or £2 to £5 or so, what are you paying the booking agent wages or big tech? Some venues don't tell you about fees when you pay, then they tell you.  |

I cannot comprehend this, a 27 year old pin up as recent as 1981 now turns SEVENTY. Where did it all go so fast? I have all his singles and the old posters from my bedroom wall and now he's older than three of my grandparents when they passed away.
As recent as 1981, that's 43 years go. 43 years before 1981 was the pre-second world war |
