Chesney Hawkes
Chesney Hawkes :
Chesney Hawkes had one huge number one hit "One and Only" which stayed at the top of the charts for ages (I think it was about 7 weeks). I remember he also released another single "I'm a man and not a boy" but it didn't do anything like as well.
Chesney, at that time, appeared in the TV series "Buddy" with Roger Daltrey playing his teddy-boy dad.

The original fiendishly difficult puzzle,
now with solution guide
The original fiendishly difficult puzzle, invented by Erno Rubik in Hungary and one of the biggest toy crazes ever. In 1982 Hawkin's Bazaar was the first to bring a few cases of the Rubik's Cube to England. Unfortunately 25 years ago we were very small and it wasn't long before a much larger company had the exclusive rights to distribute in the UK. We are very pleased to be offering it again! And now includes a new seven step solution guide.

Also remembered...
The Lightning Seeds, one of my favourite bands, will unfortunately always be remembered for a certain football anthem, which is a shame, as they've recorded some very fine songs in the course of their career. I first heard this band (fronted by Ian Broudie) in my early-90s clubbing days. Monday night was "student night", and predictably the playlist was made up largely of music which was labelled "indie" (that's what ALL students listen to, right?), and a great many British guitar-based bands, especially those from the north of England, such as Pulp and Oasis, would be put into that category, including the Lightning Seeds. Anyway, their early hit 'Pure' was given a regular airing on these nights, and I began to appreciate their music long before that dreadful 'Three Lions' became their most famous moment. Other hits (yes, they DID have other hits!) include 'Sense', 'Change', 'The Life Of Riley', 'Lucky You', and my personal favourite, 'Marvellous'.

He may have only had one hit but it was a classic. I heard it on the radio the other day and it brought back fond memories of my youth. I was only 11 when it came out and everyone was singing it at school. It's a shame Chesney's song is not played more often!

Go along to any student night and I can guarantee you'll get a decent Chesney fix...
