Irene will be known to many of you and so it was delight to speak to her about her role in running Bob's Twitter account. There is unfortunately a downside to this because of 'trolling', and as such can we request that COB make no further reference to this chat on your other social media platforms.
Irene is my final COB I chatted to as Mayor. Can I thank all you you who agreed to take part in HDYD and shared you time and stories with the wider community of Boomtown.
Thanks for sharing U2 and I was also at the Perth Gig.
House on fire is such a great song superb choice
Really nice chat, thank you @ireneclaytonhhp and Mr. Mayor! @ireneclaytonhhp see you very soon in Edinburgh 😊
Yet another really good chat. Thanks both for sharing here (and only here). Always good to meet up with @ireneclaytonhhp since our first encounter at one of the few solo gigs I have been to, maybe 10 years ago? My guess on House on Fire is without a brass section it’s pretty difficult to recreate. Good song for sure but I wouldn’t want the brass section back for gigs personally. 90% sure it was played on the VDeep tour but honestly can’t remember the set list. I need to dig out the cassette of a Radio One broadcast gig in Newcastle in June 1982. If it’s on there will post it.
It won’t be shared. I have missed meeting up with you Irene.
Tell me about the abuse… but to counter it, there’s a huge amount of support from the regulars, which is much appreciated.
