The webmaster, north Bucks:
An amazing gig and one of the last with all four original
members. Call me odd, but I do remember Pete Farndon’s bass amps had a big
yellow light on which illuminated in varying degrees of brightness
dependant on how much and how hard he played his guitar. Strange how you
remember things like that. I vaguely remember The Bureau - made up of a
lot of Geno period Dexy’s members.
I remember this for Chrissie Hynde’s stage presence and some
great great songs like Message of Love, a classic of the early 80s and
which I still play today.
The Pretenders survived the deaths of both
Farndon and Honeyman - Scott to carry on being successful through the
1980s. The Pretenders are still here today led by the charismatic Hynde
and Martin Chambers is also back on board. The current line up last
released an album in 2002
