I was wondering if anyone could tell me if a music video exists for Kirsty McColl's "A New England." I have never seen or heard of one existing but I know that in preMTV Europe it was very common for musicians to make videos. "A New England" is from 1981 I believe.
If anyone could determine if this video exists and lead me to it, I would be eternally and madly (and a bit creepily) obsessed with you. Hopefully that isn't a deterrent[:o)]
Thanks,
ExRat

Yeah, it was also done by Billy Bragg but I much prefer Kirsty's version.

they sing together on a song called 'Darling let's have another baby.' It's an extra track on one of the UK CDs releases of '

This is creepy. I absolutely love the New England song. Did you know she passed away not to long ago in a freak boating accident while on vacation in the Caribbean with her family?
New England totally captures the era of New Wave and the early 80's dea

Yeah, I know. Her death was really shocking to me. A really horrific way to die. Apparently her mother is still having a hard time coping with death and is quite active in keeping in touch with her core of die-hard fans (which in Britain, there are many.)
