Neil plays in a group in Newcastle called Dust: Their most popular song is a preposterous affair he has written called “Can you hear the dawn break?”. They are heavily influenced by The Incredible String Band. “We were convinced we would become terribly famous. It was a very kind of stoned seventies but we used to think it was absolutely brilliant at the time”.
‘Getting Away with It’ by Electronic, co-written by Neil (who also sings backup), is released as a single in the U.K.
The Boys appear on Argentine television, performing ‘Go West’ and ‘Suburbia.’
Currently in Denmark on their Super Tour, they perform the first of two consecutive nights’ shows at the Copenhagen Opera House, which Neil describes on their website as a ‘posh venue.’
For their second consecutive concert in São Paulo, the Boys perform at the Audio.
