I saw Trouble Funk twice. The first time, at the Town & Country Club I caught the encore. Thanks to someone who will remain nameless saying that there was no need to rush to get to the gig. I mean I only wanted to be there when it started. Thankfully the encore was around 45 minutes long. The second time was at the Brixton Academy. Again, I won’t reveal who my partner in crime was. He did think it would be a good idea to approach a group of lads and ask them if they were Spurs fans (they were), and then chant “yiddos, yiddos” at them. Not smart. He thought he was being friendly, they were gobsmacked. In between all this there was the music, which was amazing. Go-Go briefly reigned supreme for a small time in the mid to late eighties and when you were in the midst of a Trouble Funk show it wasn’t difficult to see why. I just wish I could have picked better company.
