They were just about to hit the big time and appeared on TOTP the following week singing 'Remember' - their first real hit I think after some minor success earlier with another track, 'Keep on Dancing'. Pretty sure I wore a Wrangler denim jacket with some tartan cloth sown into the back of it.
'Rollermania' at it's height.
