So sorry you had such a bad time I hope you've found some happiness in adulthood. Bucks Fizz were pure fun as was most of the 80s - we were lucky to be young then - they were globally more positive times. Stay strong and keep listeingin to the best of the 80s - I find it a boost.

The 80s were such an incredible time for music, where songs and groups were not all manufactured via Simon Cowell, but there was innovation and true talent. Being a teenager or in our 20s during this time was just such fun, discos, dancing, slow dances and kisses, great music. So nostalgic to hear this, I'm transported back to a time of being care free and a much simpler life.
