No 1 STATION TO TOUR WITH ROXY MUSIC


One of our favourite UK bands, No 1 STATION, is to tour with ROXY MUSIC from 25th January 2011.

Pete has been associated with the members of No1 Station since the mid-eighties, when Sir Marcus Downicus and he, together with Russ Cummings, James Anderson and Stephen Booth started Stevenage Left Bank magazine THE EYE, which led to the forerunner of this website, MOTF SWITCHBOARD, SO WE WISH THE GUYS LUCK WITH THE TOUR, ALTHOUGH WE KNOW THEY WILL BE A ROARING SUCCESS!
