7" Single, released in 1986
RAH Band - Sweet Forbidden (A-Side)
RAH Band - Perfect Stranger (B-Side)
Eclectic and idiosyncratic, Richard Hewson's RAH Band flitted around the UK pop scene from the late seventies, enjoying a couple of sizeable hits - including "Clouds Across The Moon", a Top Ten smash which lead to a memorable Top Of The Pops performance including a Logan's Run-inspired 'Intergalactic operator'.
After releasing several singles from the resultant Mystery album, "Sweet Forbidden" was the first of a number of stand alone single releases, and after being dropped from RCA, their follow up album Something About The Music remained unreleased until appearing on iTunes a couple of years ago.
Not everyone's cup of tea, but personally I find it easy to warm to Liz Hewson's delightfully unaffected vocals. The band has a website and a Facebook page.

Just wanted to pop in and say "welcome back"! I have loved your musical offerings... Through your blog I've discovered all sorts of obscure - but AWESOME - 80s synth pop bands.
Keep up the good work!

Clouds Across the Moon was played on Manila radio stations back then, too. Sweet. Miss that song.
Thanks for your support Don. Working my way back, slowly but surely..
The A Side link is dead :( Can you reup please ?
