Did the theme tune to brush strokes, well at least the lead singer did , does seem to take himself and his “art” rather seriously though

Loved it when Sally James on the kids tv program Tizwaz asked them how they got their name. Awkward moment when Kevin Rowlands replied.

Along with some other songs already mentioned, it’s weird that that they’re only largely remembered for Geno and Come on Eileen.

I couldn’t help it if I tried is one of my favourite songs

They went through different dressing - up boxes, dockers, hillbillies, etc.

Mick TALBOT was with them before the Style Council

Their cover of "Breaking down the walls of heartache" is one of the greatest tunes of all time.

Got to know the sax player, Nick Gatfield who went on to running Sony Music. Done very nicely for himself, thanks very much.

Remember working with a guy here in Australia who said he played bass for dexys in the early days for a while.

Said Kevin Rowlands was a massive cսnt and was right up himself!

Never really a fan TBH, one decent tune but the rest was a bit shit.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels is a belting album. I follow Kevin Adams on FB, he makes Jeremy Corbyn sound normal these days.
