Do you reckon Dexy's midnight runners were names after those gary's?

They were definatly named after em - Kevin Rowland was a big Northern fan - the song Geno refers to To Geno Washington - a big NS fave singer



Kevin Rowland turned up at Full Circle once in 1991 with about 10 japanese business men - all suited up - absolutely off their crackers :p

I liked Geno as well actually!

So where are the reunion do's then? I might be up for one for a bit of a change and to learn a few new shapes!
