Wiki says the Radio One Ooh Gary Davies jingle was based on Smalltown Creed, as was the Byker Grove theme, both of which sound unlikely. Somehow I missed the band reuniting a year ago. I hope they enjoyed it enough to play some more shows #KaneGang

#OneHitHistory The week ending December 19, 1987, British sophisti-pop trio The Kane Gang earned US #OneHitWonder honors when their smooth blue-eyed soul single “Motortown” spent three weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, peaking at #36 during their first week on the chart. #KaneGang #OneHitWondered

Lovely night of righteous soul with #KaneGang, Camden. Martin & Paul’s voices have grown richer & songs like ‘How Much Longer?’ sound urgent as ever. Smoky jazz of deep cut ‘Crease in His Hat’, with guest sax from Jacko Peake of Paul Weller band, unexpected highlight. @the-kane-gang.bsky.social

Not a bad stab at mixing cool with pretentious errr….cool
