Don’t Leave Me This Way

This song was playing on the radio in the Bridge Cafe just now when I went to get a cup of coffee, thus providing me with another time warp experience. The Communards’ version of Don’t Leave Me This Way was a big hit way back in 1986 and I remember dancing to it many times in various Brighton clubs and discos; I was here at the University of Sussex then as a research student. Can that really have been 27 years ago? Sigh…

      Yes, there is. It’s quite posh now, and the sandwiches are too expensive for anyone to buy, but otherwise it hasn’t changed much..
