You and I are kindred spirits, my friend. My two absolute favourites are Level 42, and Go West. How you heard of, especially, Level 42, in the states, is beyond me. I’m English, so I remember them well. I have memories from both bands that really are a balm to my soul.
God I was wild 80 s girlie , I had such a crush on Pete cox freaking out on the dance floor too his records his voice is unique , still a handsome man to this day ❤ would love too see them in concert I’m 55 now and I’m wanting my wildness back 😂
I’m a teenager, I was born recently, but Go West is my favorite band of all time! I love all their albums and songs. I own lots of their CDs and vinyls. My favorite song is “One Way Street”. I wish I was alive when they were bigger! Cool interview it’s always interesting hearing them talk :D
I probably watched when they won the Brit Award in 1986 - even though I was only about 13/14 at the time. I was a huge Go West fan and loved Peter Cox, I was thrilled when they won 😊
The music of Go West was and still is awesome! I recently came over their tracks on YT and of course remembered their great hits. Peter Cox voice is so intense, the songs are versatile and extremely well produced. One of my favorite 80s pop bands. Hats off!🤩👏
Great blokes! I’m from Australia and have been lucky enough to have seen Go West 3-times. Once was on the “Hear and Now” 2003 concert (with Paul Young, Kim Wilde, Human League and others), another time was at Rooty Hill RSL in 2008 (with Pseudo Echo & Waa Waa Nee) and lastly, at Belmont 16-Foot Sailing Club, when Tony Hadley toured with Go West. At Rooty Hill RSL, Pete actually bought me and my mates a beer. We’re so blessed to have been there in the 80’s & early 90’s, to see Go West in full flight. Thanks for the music Peter and Richard. Cheers!
In 1985 I subscribed to a go west fan magazine it came out every few months to Australia.I think it was a small size from a foggy memory.I also remembered sending hundreds of pages requesting a go west concert to be replayed so I could record Ito on the VHS.
Peter and Richard came down to South Africa for the 80's Rewind Festival and what a performance. Everyone went wild. What a blast. Please visit again. South Africa is waiting to Go West...😉
40ish hip hop guy, was my first music love, but before I fell into hip hop “king of wishful thinking” was my first ever jam, age 8 or so. Always my answer to that question. Still kills me today. Saw the singer on a show “reborn in the USA” decades later where he made “me and mrs jones” such a work of art. Long live go west!
Thanks for this interview! I have been mad about Go West since 1985 and as a matter of fact I was gobsmacked when you mentioned the Japan concert because I WAS THERE! And I still have the T-shirt! If only they’d come back to the states. Love them & their legendary songs. And Peter…that VOICE! They were fantastic and still are.
@@therealmelanietaylor Oh well:) Anyway, you might be interested to find that the full concert is up on youtube since yesterday in great quality: th-cam.com/video/KTytT43YYOU/w-d-xo.html
Growing up in the early 80s these gents I love. Adore the British bands. Being an Ohio kid in the states. From the pet shop boys, the Fixx, duran Duran... level 42, God Go West is right up there for me. And Go West having a great tune King Of Wishful thinking part of one of my all time faves Pretty Woman... awesome gents!!

Brand X..great band..also, Alan Murphy I met through a friend in Islington was a very good player..I thought I was ok but he was on another level..we were listening to Roundabout by Yes which he played note perfect..he was young at the time.

Your songs still bring me joy. So uplifting when I feel down. I never noticed the long haired guy - I like short clean cut, so the lead singer ❤️😁
Fabulous, entertaining on and off the stage! :-)
