It was a very kind of stoned seventies but we used to think it was absolutely brilliant at the time”.
The Boys work on ‘Discoteca’ at Unique Studios in New York City. Suffering from sore eyes, Neil later visits a local hospital, where he learns that he has contracted viral conjunctivitis (aka ‘pink eye’).
They perform in concert at the Parque de Castrelos in Vigo, Spain.
