“I’ve never compromised in that respect. Our job is to put on a show. When our fans pay their money it’s our duty to do give them the best live show money can buy – and then have a drink with them afterwards!”

The band started to build up a following, playing at Soho’s Marquee Club.

At the end of 1989, the band released the single “7 O’Clock”, which entered the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart.

The debut album was produced by a school friend of the band’s, Andrew Witham, and entered the UK Albums Chart at No. 2. A Bit of What You Fancy drew positive reviews and was compared favourably to British rock names such as Rod Stewart and The Faces.
