    Very sad, saw a very good documentary about them on BBC4 recently, whilst I wasn't a fan, their music certainly takes me back to school disco's and 'Shang a lang' makes for a great terrace anthem

    Bye Bye Baby would be more appropriate.

    RIP

    Under rated pop songs from an era when singles bands often not appreciated. It was only rock and rock but I liked it.

    I was never a fan but they were certainly popular with 13 year-old girls!
