The posse rides again – I shot Dexy’s Midnight Runners at the Elephant and Castle shopping centre in London in 1981 (above). Some members of the original band brought together by Geoff Blythe just reunited to record at Blokhed Studio on Long Island. I just photographed the new band, G I Blythe (below) for their new CD which comes out Jan 12th 2012. Geoff played with Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band – which is one of the first albums I ever bought.

Great photos! Just for the record, so to speak, the top photo is definitely from 1980, not 1981. Dexys Midnight Runners are one of the very few artists whose photos can be dated quite so specifically due to the high turnover of personnel and ever-changing fashions! All but two of those pictured had left the band by 1981!
