Modern Romance first hit the UK charts in 1981. They came into being after The Buzzards (formerly punk band The Leyton Buzzards) split in 1980. Long time friends Geoffrey Deane and David Jaymes, who had formed The Leyton Buzzards in 1976, joined forces with John Du Prez, Robbie Jaymes, Paul Gendler and Andy Kyriacou to create an irresistible blend of funk and salsa. Deane left in 1982 to chase a solo career. He ended up as a writer and was the screenwriter for the hit film Kinky Boots.

1982 & IMO The Best Track By MR , Also A Vibe & Sound Of The Time Very Similar To Blue Rondo A La Turk , Haircut & A Few More Bands Around This Time , I Suppose It's That Early White Persons Attempt At Rap !! :D Love The French Accordion Thou SSSSsssssssh A Guilty Pleasure Choon & Its Sounds Better With Age

NC I’ve a limited edition book on the New Romantic scene worth a few Bob look on Amazon 🤭... We Can Be Heroes ( London Clubland 1976 -1984 ) lots of rare photographs by Graham Smith & mostly written by Chris Sullivan singing here 👇🏻. with his band
Sullivan & his welsh chum Steve Strange organised & DJ’ed all these parties around London’s soho area eventually getting a small movement of ppl that would dress up into what was to be called & label the New Romantics , Blitz Kids Fashion with no name .......
.. Sullivan then formed BRAT it did last long before a few members in Blue Rondo left in 83’
Mark Reily , Daniel White along with Basia from Poland who’d arrived in London in 81’ to try & find fame & fortune after singing in various polish bands throughout the 70’s
They formed the Latin Jazz inspired Matt Bianco

Blue Rondo a la Turk were a cut above the others, they were very much innovators at the time

I used to dance to this back in Colombia and as I said before this is one underrated band
