If my aged memory serves me right, TOTP would have anyone play live, but being the massive chart promo that it was, agents/handlers preferred miming, and probably some bands too. :)
@Phyl thanks for the info, TOTP performances are fun to watch, especially here in the States because the show didn't air, but the OGWT live performances are really something when they are captured well---------it's like a bit of history.

@loboska you're welcome. I enjoy the song and the really good live performance they captured. I enjoy the musicianship of some of these bands
