My favourite band from the 70s, used to love seeing how outrageous they would be on Top Of The Pops, my dad hated them, I still love them now.

RIP Steve Priest

Certainly a result of that era! They did alright for themselves, though.

I still reckon Ballroom Blitz is a hoot. At about the time that was out, there was a real one in the working man's club in the village where I was born!

Thankfully it was on a rare night I wasn't there

supposedly based on  the sweet getting bottled of stage in  kilmarnock due to the rock fans being a bit shocked   by there girly glam looks.Cant listen to blockbuster without thinking off the mac lads song that used the tune,with words about  a chubby chap.

Their singles always went down a storm when I ran discos in the 70s.

And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack" And it turned into a ballroom blitz. And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya it'll turn into a ballroom blitz". Ballroom blitz, da-da-da-da, da, da, da-da. Ballroom blitz, da-da-da-da, da, da, da-da.

A timeless classic. Still rocks today.

RIP Steve Priest

I was in Evesham at the start of the 70s. My disco on a Tuesday at the club went down A storm. Then moved to Reading followed by Birmingham, so never up your way George.
