SAILOR's very first
performance ever...!!
This was a TV show for BBC II "In Concert" in September
1974, where they presented songs from their first album and also
the B-side of their first single: "Harbour".
SAILOR have always remembered this concert as being an altogether
terrifying experience. Never having played to an audience before,
to find yourself in front of five or six TV cameras capturing
your every movement for millions of people to witness live was an
unforgettable experience.
Georg: "I've never been so terrified in my whole life. It's
the sort of thing sane people wouldn't do!"
Henry: "I remember our facial expressions that night were
mouths that smiled and eyes that screamed!"
Phil: "My heartbeat was so loud, I thought it was being
picked up by the microphone!"
Grant: "I was a drummer who found himself playing the main
Nickelodeon part in 'A Sailor's Night On The Town' on live TV,
knowing that if I got lost during the playing of the part I'd
never find my way back!"
