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 :uneasy:

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.
