Dexys with Terry Wogan
BBC Radio 2
19th October 2014
Something of a departure from the norm of this site now. Here's Dexys from their appearance on 'Weekend Wogan' on 19th October 2014. Frontman Kevin Rowland has once again reinvented the band who are again recording and touring. I saw them play in Cambridge about 10 years ago and I have to say they didn't really do it for me then. However, as a band I have great admiration for them. Back in the day they created a pretty unique sound. In much the same way that The Specials fused the attitude of punk with the musical sensibility and rhythms of Blue Beat, Dexys also took something from punk and cooked it up with the sound of Northern Soul. Whilst never a 2 Tone act, that sound gave them a loose association with that powerhouse movement.
Here founder members Kevin Rowland and Jim Paterson are reunited with a few other noted musicians to perform:
01. Incapable of Love
02. Come On Eileen
Thanks for Dexys on Wogan, I also like The Stranglers great band :)
