ABC

By nice coincidence I was hanging out with Wull at the Dublin Castle and happened to get chatting to a guy who turned out to be the manager of ABC back in the day. He was really into Guns and Roses, Status Quo, Queen – just not the sort of acts that these days people reckon are cool. Funny thing is John Deacon the bass player from Queen went to my school, Beauchamp College in Oadby, Leicester. Funnier though is that I recall when working with Mick Walker at Sports Ltd that he had a mate who had helped ABC get famous, and then had been dumped. I mentioned this to this guy at the Dublin, I mean like this was something I was told in passing 25 years ago, and before you knew it he had left with better things to do like manage the band he was with than hear my boring old anecdotes!
