1987: Do you think the unmanned instruments set up behind Boy George are deliberate, possibly in a pointed way at Culture Club, or the result of stage manager laziness? Either way Smitty attempts to make returning after a two year gap sound like an event - it wasn't even that, the band appeared in 1986 as you'll see sooner than you think - but it's George's hat and coat of badges that really draw the attention. Alison Moyet seems more surprised to be there, leaving the trumpet player to build his part up.
