Hey! Remember the 80's?
The Secret Policeman’s Third Ball
Episode 221: This episode is inspired by another recent Kari find at the record store (she is on a roll!). Have you heard of the Secret Policeman's Ball? It's okay if you haven't because it's a secret! The UK fundraiser for Amnesty International dates back to 1976, but the 1987 event put a focus on music, and featured performances from Kate Bush, Joan Armatrading, Duran Duran, and Bob Geldof, among others. Joe and Kari discuss those performances, as well as those from Erasure, Nik Kershaw and Mark Knopfler.
Finally, the QUIZ continues -- find out who ends up on top after the next round!!
