    I remember saying "what crappy pop music" in the day - not realizing at all that the bassline and playing by Beggs on the track was pretty-much genius and that Limahl was a hell of a singer too. There you go - all the stuff you're sure you know at 13 I guess. Nice to see these guys from my youth still killing it - Jonsey still has pipes.

      We never really knew how spoilt we were at the time. Look at how eclectic 'Pop' was in the early 80s, especially compared to now. Dexys, Men a Work, selecter, specials,tenpole tudor the vapours etc etc etc. Today, pop has shed its vestigial 'Music'.

    If you're not a musician, it might not be obvious to you, but those bass lines that Nick is playing are amazingly inventive and absolutely expertly played. What's even more amazing is that he wrote and recorded them when he was just 21 years old. The musicianship during the New Romantic era is one of the most overlooked in pop's long history. Some of those folks were at the very top of the game and Nick Beggs was one of them.

      @@hux2000 Yeah it reminds me of ABBA, they were ridiculed for their ‘pop’ songs, it was just jealousy of course because they were so popular, but when people really started to listen they realised how much creative and artistic skill was in their songs. Suppose you could say the same about the Beatles. This song sounds quite simple and basic to me but I’m learning to do things like listen to the guitar. Sometimes the boring words over the top can ruin a good piece of music.

      Absolutely and also, not really. Your early twenties are an interesting time in your musical development for most high level musicians. You’ve been playing for the better part of your life and you’re already a massive shredder…but you’re also not quite old enough to start saying stuff like “hmmm…maybe this is a little too extra…I think I’m gonna pump the brakes a bit”. I think that’s why you see so much musical innovation from folks in their early twenties

      But the irony is that getting (technically) "better and better," does not mean you make "better" music. more proficient music, yes. But the Spark! which lets you create something mind-blowing -- isn't there, just b/c you're technically better.

    I remember back in the 80s I dismissed stuff like this as pre-packaged pop but jump forward to now and you realise that musicians like Nick Beggs had real talent when you start to break down the parts of these songs. It's the same as John Taylor from Duran Duran's bass lines, you now realise that these guys could really play and come up with original and genius contributions to the songs. Credit to Howard too, he's still up there with the best of them too.

    Nick Beggs has massive respect throughout the music industry, it wasn't that long ago he was touring with Steve Hackett, when you consider Kadgagoogoo and Genesis they would seem poles apart but music is music, talent always shines through and I thank my mum who taught me that as a young man. She would dance along to Kadgagoogoo and be just as transfixed listening to Specral mornings (Steve Hackett). I love all types of music so my playlists are perhaps a little strange.

    Two of my favorite musicians, playing together in one of my favorite cities....and what a song and performance. I'm learning bass but after this I'll probably just give up and listen to a really talented player. ;)

    The first time we saw Nick Beggs (he was playing with Steve Hackett), out comes this woman in long braids, wearing a dress. Turns out it was Nick in a vest and kilt. He killed it on the Chapman stick!
    He is also a phenomenal sound man! Makes a big difference to a performance. We’ve been fans ever since.

Graham) doing “The Jam.” If you’re trying to study the master’s hands, you’ll be treated to mostly close-ups of the guitar player.

I queued up the YT vid and wouldn't you know, the camera was focusing on everything EXCEPT the guy who the band was named after!

    ... So many great musicians were overlooked because the art police called them mainstream or light...
