Danceclass - The Tube 1983
The fantastic Danceclass - on The Tube (Jan 1983 , Series 1 Episode 12)DANCECLASS : Dave Taggart vocals, Tony Mcananey bass , Ali Reay guitar and Trevor Brewis drums.For more info: https://danceclassuk.comAt the end I've added 2 live recordings of varying lo-fi quality. Not sure about what the first one was from, but the second is a Radio 1 in concert session around this time.(Many thanks to youtuber Lol-Z who is uploading a ton of old The Tube shows from the 80s, which this has mainly come from.See his stuff on: / davisxl1 )From their website:After an untold amount of live work in their native North East of England, they were finally snapped up by A&M RECORDS in 1981 and the DANCECLASS album was recorded and released in 1982. Produced by Mike Chapman, the album failed to capture the raw energy of their live sound but there is no getting away from the fact that these were indeed brilliantly crafted songs for their genre. Penned by Dave Taggart and Tony Mcananey with additional material by Ali Reay, the DANCECLASS repetoire of highly energetic and often humurous powertunes have stood the test of time

OH.MY.GOD.Andy! You are a star!!!! I'd never seen them live or on TV or anything. And some wonderful other bits you've found too. Brilliant, made my year. Thanks. Good to also find their web site again too (I lost it when my old PC dieded a few years back), and it still has my comment in there from 2012 too!!! Glad you liked the LP (it was my vinyl rip. I wanted a digital-type copy of the LP so badly I bought the software to transfer it to my PC. That's how keen I was!!!! Thanks again Andy.
PS You've also excelled with the F Mac, Janis, Jeff/Buddy, T Heads and good ol' Rory. Excellent stuff and keep up the great work. Cheers DD
