It
must have been sometime in 1988 when John
Buckingham was living in Maidstone in Kent that he answered an advert
on the wall of a music shop for a keyboard player. When he phoned the
number the drummer said that the advert had been there for a couple of
years and that they had given up looking for a keyboard player, but he
said that he would see if he could get the "guys" back together
again.
Tall Man Thin was reborn!
Tony the bass player lived in Sittingbourne and turned out to be very
good friend of John's. After only 3 months of solid rehearsals, they were
ready for gigs. They only managed a couple of gigs, one gig in the Albion
pub in Maidstone and another in Faversham before the songwriter announced
that he was in love and was going to live in America with his American
girlfriend.
That was the quick end of Tall Man Thin!
John's only regret was that he didn't have a string machine at that time
and that the whole set lacked a classic string sound.
