I had not heard, at the time, that St Philips Choir was based in Croydon. #Deeper80s Unlike Captain Sensible, at least one of our own made it out of Xmas 84 successfully

Like yourself, I don't recall any coverage about the choir and their adventures in the pop charts at the time. In fact I was still oblivious of it when I attended a service at the church in 2000, which is a relief as I would have backed the vicar into a corner, asking questions about Sal Solo.
