Just found out Owen passed away today, so sad. Top singer and a lovely fella. RIP Owen mate....

[@seanmoran2258]

Ahhhh fuckin hell dad, what a voice you had. Missed by everyone... What a song 💙

[@Nckgdmn]

Great, great band but I agree with you entirely - Owen’s voice made them special

[@davidhutchison1711]

R.I.P. Owen Moran

[@qtpysusie54]

Geez, I really am sad to discover a great band after one of them passes. Rest in glorious peace.

[@maxheadroom4796]

Rip Owen youve left a legacy of great songs you made with the rest of the guys your music will live on great band music should be on spotify

[@TheDennyDeefella]

[@Voynich1865]

Me alr fella worked with the drummers dad,who lent us the video cassette this song were thee are on the ferry it was sound ,still got all there records

[@arthurjones1104]

Digsy and Owen are still living in Fazak, Digsy's daughter Jaime has got a fantastic voice as well !! You can still get a song out of the lads if you ask nicely. One great thing in their favour, They are massive Everton fans !!!!

I have this on an old Betamax video I taped it when it was on Whistle Test, pure Liverpool 80's. Although I'm Glasgow I used to love going Liverpool at that time, great vibe in the City, great days, it was a golden age thanks for posting

[@-smokem]

[@zMaNiiCzHD]

@@zMaNiiCzHD What happened?

[@TheTONYSNELL]

Love da Books!

[@owenmoran2680]

Ta! Snelly

[@boundsgreentiger]

Thsi sounds better to me now than it did then. I remember seeing them do this on Whistle Test, would it have been in '85? Sounds ahead of it's time in a lot of ways - would have fitted in very well with music from about 5 years later...

[@raeljjd1966]

never forgot..still play their LPs now
