25 years ago on May 16th 2001 I ran a live event "Back in Time Live" in Birmingham. It was one of the first big reunions of 8-bit types, and was unusual enough for BBC Midlands to send a reporter, and they interviewed Ben Daglish, David Whittaker and Richard Joseph. youtu.be/MDRJvnHThCU

I love Allister Brimble's covers of David Whittaker's works btw. I often listen to his Leatherneck remake: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I09i... ; sometimes my younger son (8 years old) sings it when getting ready for school. It fills me with joy that he too will remember this music from his youth.
