How it all started

Watching Swap Shop one Saturday morning, Noel Edmonds was asking a group of snotty nosed gits who their favourite band was as he did every week, but, this week was different. As i looked down the line someone caught my eye... there he was, completely different from the rest of the audience, there was something about him, his clothes, his haircut, all new to me, he was a new romantic.
It wasn't a gay thing, merely 13 years young and looking for an identity of some sort i suppose... and i remember thinking to myself  'whatever band that boy says, they will be my favourite too' so infatuated was I with how brilliant, cool and disaffected this lads whole look came across on screen.
The words 'Spandau Ballet' had only just finished spilling from his lips when i grabbed my jacket and ran to Woolworths with my Saturday moring pocket money to buy something by them, anything, i didn't know what, all i knew was that i had to have it.
