Nick Watkinson, lead singer of The Jags, has been closely observing the UK Govt mandate of "Hands, Face, Space" and, because sanitizer is >60% ethanol, has now noticed that he no longer has your number written on the back of his hand. So, if you're the girl from the yellow beach chalet who helped him disentangle his towel from his trunks, Nick apologises for being a bit busy since 1979 and would appreciate it if you'd give him a ring on Scarborough 267587.

Fun fact: Tommy Tutone was so-named because he usually appeared on stage with vomit-covered shoes. This was because the minibus he bought for touring had a leaking fuel line and his French keyboard player, Steve LeGassick, was so-named because he was a notoriously poor traveller at the best of times. The drummer, Jerry Angel, was so-named because he always cleaned up the van afterwards without being asked, but he drew the line at Tommy's shoes because Tommy only packed one pair of spare socks for coast-to-coast tours.

This was before Tommy invented ska?

Historians are debating whether Tommy Tutone invented or just inspired the Mod revival. Tommy and his band's post-gig habit of heading to the nearest nightclub to dominate the dancefloor was considered a bit inconsiderate. The still vomit-stained and now sweat-soaked sneakers cleared the floor by themselves and drew disapproving looks from locals. This led to The Ruts recording Staring at the Rude Boys, which David 'Kid' Jensen misinterpreted as a comment on the 2Tone ska scene which didn't really exist before the song got heavy rotation on Radio 1.
