Trying to recapture Virginity

If you were in a band "best known for a Kenny Everett jingle", you might conclude there's not much to comeback for. But that's not going to stop Iron Virgin, reuniting some thirty-two years after calling it a day.

Apparently, there's public demand:

Lead singer Stuart Harper, 57, who is now a designer and artist for a tie company in Portobello, said he was "amazed" by the surge of interest in the band.

He said: "I'm quite shocked at the fact that our song is on glam rock compilations and there's an interest in us now. When we were playing, things just didn't work out for one reason or another, so to get some recognition 30 years on is quite something.

"I've looked back at some of the old photos and can't believe how flamboyant we were. I was probably wearing more make-up then than my daughter wears now.

"Thankfully I don't have that 'No Entry' codpiece any more."

Presumably one with two planks nailed across and Keep Out painted on would be rather more apt.

Are there no bands which just stay broken up any more?
