Sixth form, 1993. St Etienne were touring So Tough, and playing Portsmouth Southsea Pier. A gang of us piled in a car and we set off on the 40 mile trip along the south coast from Dorset. The gig was memorable for one reason only - the support band. Some lanky fella who sang about women and babies. The singer cracked a few jokes, and had to fill a bit of time when the keyboard didn’t work. I was smitten. Went home and ordered whatever was available from the record shop - Razamatazz and Babies on 12”.
