Tube Tuesday: Furniture

Following on from my earlier post enthusing about the YouTubing of The Tube, here's another in an occasional series plucking gems from the back catalogue.

Today it's something very special from episode 22 of series 4, broadcast 7th March 1986, Forget the intro from Paula, in which she looks like Princess Di's dirty sister, and concentrate instead on this beautiful performance of I Miss You and Brilliant Mind by Furniture, yet to release their excellent debut album The Wrong People. This is really a cut above your standard Friday teatime fare, then as now... despite two duff piano chords in the first song. Collect them both!

    2. So much so, in fact, that I've just added The Wrong People to the "every home should have one" master list.

  2. "...in which she looks like Princess Di's dirty sister..." Brilliant.

    1. I thank you. "Lady Di's dirty sister" would have been better though, as that's what everyone still called her back then, wasn't it?
