I was sittin' around Thursday evening, watching "Would Like To Meet... Again" on TV, as you do, and up popped the distinctive throb of "All Night Disco Party". Best thing about the show, but the sequence only lasted about 27 seconds. PS - great gig at the Concorde2 the other week and knock 'em out at Beachdown!
