In spite of the name, in spite of the tailored suits and the Latin-style music, Modern Romance never were a part of the whole ‘New Romantic’ thing. I’m not quite sure why not but, while they had hit after hit and were always on Top Of The Pops, they were never deemed to be quite ‘cool’ enough by the Blitz-kid set.
Modern Romance was, as it turns out, the first group I ever interviewed for Flexipop! I remember being somewhat struck by their suits. David Jaymes was wearing a suit in somewhat Day-Glo tint of powder blue. Some of the other were wearing pink. I asked David for his definition of style. Here’s a little snippet from that interview...
And here’s a camp little clip of the rather wonderfully named song, Ay-ay-ay-ay Moosey..."It's how you carry it off. It's the way that you walk. It's the way you do everything. It's the way I'm gesticulating now with my cigarette," he says, gesticulating stylishly with his cigarette.
"Whatever Spandau Ballet haven't got - that's what it is!" Geoffrey adds in his rather more forthright manner.
"Although, wearing pink suits can cause problems," David admits.
