Something for the weekend
Tracie Young — swoon
I do believe that's The Questions playing with her, but who's the chap on the far left of the stage with the guitar? Looks awfully familiar.

The sentimental musings of an ageing British expat in words, music, and pictures. Files are only up for a limited time so drink them while they're hot.

Ah, that was a defining moment for me musically that programme: 'Switch' in 1983. The Questions did Price You Pay, Tracie did this and then Weller and Talbot did Speak Like A Child, and if memory serves, Solid Bond.
She was lovely. Still is for that matter. There's a myspace page out there; actually there's a myspace for respond, one for tracie and one for the questions. Also have a look for 'chris free'. Chris was the songwriter in A Craze. I think he had some old tunes of theirs up on his site.
Happy weekend!
gawd thats a bad evil horrid suit.
weller playing bass. hmmm.
I'll confirm what Simon says as I too have this on VHS.
'Switch' was the replacement on Ch4 for 'The Tube' over the summer of 83. I best remember it for 2 things:-
(a) New Order playing Age of Consent and Blue Monday
(b) The Style Council doing the full 7 mins plus of Money Go Round where Weller got so carried away with delivering his vocal a mouthful of spit emerged....
cool jc-any chance you can post the whole show on utube?
