Chris Peters and Neil Keeler first met at Cromer High School in 1984 where a keen interest in baggy trousers, eyeliner and Duran Duran drew them together. Jumping on the Band Aid band wagon, Neil penned a jolly Christmas ditty entitled 'Christmas Times Here Again' with the intention of performing the song at the end of term Christmas concert. Unfortunately he could not entice the likes of Bono or Simon Lebon to contribute to the project, but he did manage to get several high profile members of the school orchestra involved including Porky on glockenspiel and another student who’s name escapes me on triangle and various other instruments that didn't require any talent of note. Chris Peters was also brought into the group on bass, not so much for his slap bass prowess but his John Taylor sty

  • Chris Peters and Neil Keeler first met at Cromer High School in 1984 where a keen interest in baggy trousers, eyeliner and Duran Duran drew them together. Jumping on the Band Aid band wagon, Neil penned a jolly Christmas ditty entitled 'Christmas Times Here Again' with the intention of performing the song at the end of term Christmas concert. Unfortunately he could not entice the likes of Bono or Simon Lebon to contribute to the project, but he did manage to get several high profile members of the school orchestra involved including Porky on glockenspiel and another student who’s name escapes me on triangle and various other instruments that didn't require any talent of note. Chris Peters was also brought into the group on bass, not so much for his slap bass prowess but his John Taylor style mullet complete with blonde fringe. To complete the line up he employed the vocal talents of Richard Worsop, head boy and favourite of the choir master not quite the voice of an angel, more reminiscent of a cross between Aled Jones and Mr Potato Head, Jimmy Summerville, on helium! To cut a long story short, the performance was a massive success, highlight of the end of term bash raising a grand total of £16.50 through entrance fees alone and so ending world poverty and halting famine in its tracks. The band were even invited to perform at the Christmas assembly by the then headmaster, this wasn't quite as successful, what with Neil having problems with his 'Yes' style bank of keyboards and a non show by the glockenspiel player due to the 1984 flu pandemic. All was not lost though, and the day was saved by a fantastic display of plumage and some seriously baggy trousers.
