In the 80's I loved their singles and a friend bought me Songs To Learn and Sing and I liked them but that was as far as it went. Then years later I heard Nothing Lasts Forever on the radio and loved it. I then went to see Later....with Jools Holland and found out when we got there that The Bunnymen were playing on that show! Then I heard Evergreen on the radio and liked that too, so I bought Evergreen the album and loved it. Then on 2.4.1998 they played near me at Southampton Guildhall - I was absolutely blown away by the music, Mac, Will's guitar playing and the atmosphere!! I then bought all the albums (as I could afford to) one by one starting with Crocodiles until I had all the back catalogue. Every one of those albums effected me so deeply emotionally it was overwhelming, I have never experienced anything like it before or since and that is why I am completely hooked and have to 'be there when they come'!!!!!!!! It sounds over the top - but it's the truth!!
