HoJo



Hey fans, welcome to another edition of "Friday Night Happy Hour Video Date" with your host Pete. 25 years ago this summer, some 2 billion people watched as Live Aid was broadcast across 60 countries. I remember sitting at my friend BK's house as we took in all the great performances. Tonight's video is from Live Aid (at Wembley Stadium) and features Howard Jones. I have always considered HoJo as a key player in the 80's sound - not only as a performer but as a thoughtful writer. This song (Hide & Seek) is one of my favourites. It goes to show that even at such a large scale venue, a man with a piano and a good song can entertain as well as anyone. Enjoy and keep those comments and requests coming!
