Secret Affair
Soho Dreams
Secret Affair (Ian Page, Dave Cairns, Dennis Smith & Seb Shelton) formed in 1978 from their previous incarnation as the "power pop" band New Hearts. In a period of a little over two years, they posted five releases in the UK Singles Chart, and released three albums. The debut single "Time For Action" sold over 200,000 copies and reached number 13 in the UK chart, putting them at the forefront of the mod revival movement. More chart success followed with "Let Your Heart Dance", "My World" and "Sound Of Confusion". They also drew up plans for a smart-dressing youth movement - the Glory Boys - based around the idea of 1960s gangster chic, influenced by the movie, Performance. 2012 sees the release of the bands first studio album Soho Dreams" after 30 years, on their iconic and original label I-SPY RECORDS. The album features the new 8 piece line-up with full horn section and guest hammond supremo Andy Fairclough. A 13 date UK tour heralds the album launch. Founder members: Ian Page, Lead Vocals, Trumpet, Keyboard. Dave Cairns Guitar & vocals. Complimenting the line-up are: Russ Baxter on Drums and Ed Pearson on bass and Andy Fairclough on Hammond. The line up includes a new brass section with Stephen Wilcock on sax, Steve Rinaldi on trombone, and Tim Pannell on trumpet.
