BA Robertson also had a hit with Maggie Bell. Can anyone help me to remember what it was pleez ...

[JAW67]

B A Robertson and Maggie Bell sang 'Hold Me', I think.

[MrPooHead]

Who did "You Will Always Find Me In the Kitchen at Parties" then? If it wasn't him it was another big geeky bloke with a curly do.

You're thinking of Jonah Lewie. Also did 'Stop The Cavalry', that Christmas Compilation album favourite.

Thanks JAW67 - I'm sure you are correct. Also, being picky now, wasnt it 'Jona' not 'Jonah' Lewie? He was part of the original 'Be Stiff' tour in '77 with Rachel Sweet, Nick Lowe, Ian Dury, Wreckless Eric and Lene Lovich I think.
