I recall hearing their records a lot on Radio 1 in late 1991 (Dave Lee Travis used to play them) but, as one contributor said, they were not Madchester and got missed. A real shame, because the "Intro" album is a classic crisp acoustic pop album that still sounds fresh and varied today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475169380058929329.post-84915009328966879442010-05-27T16:55:46.688-05:002010-05-27T16:55:46.688-05:00Tony Kirkham is definitely now playing keyboards w...Tony Kirkham is definitely now playing keyboards with Stereophonics, and has been since around 1998.

He was an excellent singer but had a problem with his vocal chords that required an operation and unfortunately he was never able to sing the same again. He is an amazing musician and JJ were supreme. Intro was a quality album with some excellent songs. It is a shame they never got the success they deserved. I was shocked to read above that he toured with Stereophonics and would be interested to have this confirmed. I havn't seen Tony for probably 15 years (last seen at Victoria train station in Manchester with Jan Johnston) Tony, if you are out there, i would love to hear from you to catch up on old times - and where is Will and Bo and the rest of the gang?

I've never seen it mentioned anywhere. The second track If This Is Love is one of those great little summer songs that are just a little bit melancholy around the edges.<BR/><BR/>Also play it back to back with some of the Corrs mid 90s stuff and see the similarities.....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163017415448622471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475169380058929329.post-67624140069367915442008-07-13T05:27:00.000-05:002008-07-13T05:27:00.000-05:00Ahh JJ - I remember this - many thanks for the alb...Ahh JJ - I remember this - many thanks for the album - I never got it - the furthest I went was a couple of 12" singles which I must admit were excellent - another great post on a blog that demands checking out daily!G Magillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08284296358672404745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475169380058929329.post-49088558556688351912008-07-11T23:20:00.000-05:002008-07-11T23:20:00.000-05:00Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.mineforlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307405820609436270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475169380058929329.post-2713865084391878872008-07-11T22:18:00.000-05:002008-07-11T22:18:00.000-05:00Hard to believe this wasn't a hit.
