Early Andy

I read here:

"There was little sign at this stage that Taylor would become a musician, despite being inspired by Bowie's legendary performance of Starman on Top of the Pops; he had allegedly been banned from school music classes for having no talent, and within the confines of the 14th Century Oxford quadrangles he would have been isolated from the ravages that punk was wreaking across Britain. A career in the Foreign Office appealed. Pictures of Taylor dating from this period show the man having already dyed his naturally blonde hair black, but sporting a respectable pin-stripe jacket. The trademark aviator shades were already in place."

So, anyone got any pics from this period?

I don't think it is. I remember having the OGWT 'starkicker' badge on my jacket at the time, as well as the one VOM has there

I think it's a Bowie one :?

I still have both of them somewhere.. thanks a lot, I have to find em now!
