The glorious 80s

We descended on Hastings last night to go to the 80s concert at Battle Abbey. I love the 80s. Our wigs and makeup bought back memories of ra ra skirts, grolsch tops in our shoes and luminous socks. In fact the wigs had me in near pant wetting hysteria and the night continued on that theme really.

We saw Toyah (always good), Carol Decker (bitchy as ever), Bananarama (Or banana, minus Siobhan), Nick Heyward (he should never try to be funny - he just isn't), Belinda Carlisle (beautiful but could have made more of an effect clothes wise. She looked like she was in her gardening outfit), and Midge Ure (he was loving it).

After the concert we went to a pub doing the best selection of the worst karoke ever, followed by a trip to the local Hastings nightclub KRASH! It really was like being in a car krash but we had a fab time. It has cheesy tunes and the dancefloor was practically our own. We managed to last till about 3.30 and then survived the kebab shop without getting in a fight.

We all looked like we had seen better days this morning. But hardcore as we are we went for a trip along the sea front, saw the castle and went on the funicular railway. A lovely weekend was had by all.
