But it was a shame the reformed Eighties synth-poppers couldn't have done this at a Mansfield venue as everyone in the packed club seemed to be from the Mansfield area.

Maybe that's one for the future for them?

With synth-pop back in the limelight with bands like The Killers and gloomy songs in fashion with bands like The Editors, B-Movie's return is well-timed.

They emerged at the time the punk revolution of the late Seventies was turning into the futurist movement of the early Eighties and their contemporaries were bands like Depeche Mode and Soft Cell.

But, although their sound remains very Eighties, they still sound relevant and current and there were younger members of the audience clearly enjoying what they saw.

B-Movie had three absolutely storming tunes in their heyday for me and the first of those, Marilyn Dreams, was thrown in as the second song.

The superb Remembrance Day – played appropriately on Remembrance Day – was dedicated to the two soldiers from Mansfield and Chesterfield killed in action in the same week in August – and brought the night's first big singalong from the audience.

That loosened a few limbs and the dancing started at the front with the encore bringing a killer double of Nowhere Girl – their best song ever for me – and Scare Some Life Into Me.

Interestingly the band did play new material suggesting maybe this gig – and the one in London – are not purely for nostalgia.

It is maybe a bit late in the day for B-Movie to produce a blockbuster. But they are clearly far from a spent force and it would be fascinating to see what a new album would sound like from them.
