The second of the Youngline annuals and its no better than the 1980 version. Note the name change from Annual to Yearbook and the re-branding of the logo. The rock article,written by Ferdia McAnna, does reference lots of new bands. Anyone remember Katmandu? I think they may have also appeared on Youngline during 1980/81 and were in the same TV competition which Choice went on to win. (see earlier post about Choice – and the quest to find a copy of that TV recording).

I probably shouldn’t admit to this, Doug, but I’m guessing it’s the Belfast outfit of the same name?
“highly sophisticated”?
I’m sure Marty (Lundy) would like to think so but bland and derivative might be alternative adjectives that spring to mind…

8 Nov 2011Thanks Jake, somebody else said that to me today. I’m wrong. I’m mixing them up with someone else.
