51-“..livin’ on a Mode..”

from The Grumpy Cyclist Talks Music · host The Grumpy Cyclist

Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Bon Jovi, Bagpipes… and Captain Sensible!!!Just some of the gems Joolz and I chat about in this latest episode — a pure reflection on Julie’s (Joolz’s) time at St George’s boarding school… where we just happened to be in the same year.From her admiration of Dave Gahan’s vocals, to the all-important Desert Island Album choice (clue: four chaps from Ireland… 👀), we dive into the music that shaped the 80’s.Fingerless gloves. Snoods. Leg warmers. Industrial levels of hairspray.If you grew up in that era — or just love the music — this one will take you straight back.
