I'll put this up purely because I was learning Panama by VH yesterday for a gig coming up and left it running and it played two more of theirs and it just made me realised it was a great time for all these videos .

I remember mom listened to a band called London Boys. I think that's what they were called. I think they had a song called Requiem and another called London Nights.

Anyway, I quite liked their sound.bas a 9 year old anyway.
