Back in 1997 Kerry and I were living in our little flat in Loughton still trying hard to get work as actors. I had done a couple of episodes of ‘Bugs’ and had a part as a doctor in ‘The Bill’ in 1996 and Kerry had appeared in ‘The Knock’ for LWT but by the summer of 1997 we were having to consider other things. It was at that time I got a temporary job at Lloyds Bank Stockbrokers which sent me back into London on the tube daily and led to a whole host of other things…
Looking back the music of 1997 was uneventful as far as I was concerned but times were changing as we all looked forward to the new start that Teflon Tony had promised with the election of ‘New Labour’ that same year. There were a couple of songs that I liked at that time (and I loved ‘The Spice Girls’) but I liked this song by Hanson. I had heard ‘MMMMBop’ and knew they were a bunch of kids but there is a maturity and style to this song that makes it stand out and on a recent revisit to it I was reminded of what a good song this actually is. I have it on my ipod (along with ‘MMMMBop’) and I play it often.
Now listen to the song……
