Flintlock reformed for a one-off gig in 2007, just wondering wtf actually bothered to go, it'd hardly be on a par with Bros filling an arena (again) would it?

 

Mike Holoway's site hasn't been updated since he planned the release of a single for a forthcoming 13 track album in 2018: http://mikeholoway.co.uk/index.html

I’m sure someone turned up, although the attraction of seeing an obscure ’boy band’ some 30+ years after the event is lost on me, personally…..

Question: Allan Wilmot was also reported dead by his local MP some hours ago. No sign of a news report at all. With "fame" outside of Windrush, if he can't obit, 20 risky names I'd say.
