While driving around yesterday doing my job I was listening to a compilation CD with the "three before eight" (Jimmy Radcliffe, Tobi Legend, Dean Parrish) as the last tracks. Whenever I hear any of these the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, not because they are brilliant stand out tunes, but from the memories of the atmosphere of several hundred people acting almost as one when these were played at the end of the night at the Casino. I don't have a long association with the Casino, only going from late '79 onwards due to age and strict parents, but I have often wondered how these three came to be put together as the finale. Was it just a coincidence, and when did they make their first appearance as the three together?

Apologies if this has been done before.
