All About Eve perform their track "Martha's Harbour" live on Top of the Pops..... now if only they could hear the backing track.

"For the first time in full, the infamous appearance on Top Of The Pops where Julianne Regan and Tim Bricheno can't hear the backing track for the first half of the song, so are just sitting there with the track playing to TV viewers. Shame that this is one of the main reasons they are remembered but it probably contributed to their success at the time - this single rose up the charts for the next two weeks!" - YouTube.

"In a well known incident, the band later performed a dubbed version of "Martha's Harbour" on the BBC1 television show Top of the Pops, but, owing to a studio technical error, the taped vocals were broadcast without the band being able to hear them, resulting in the TV audience hearing the recorded version of the song, while the band members sat motionless on screen waiting for their cue to begin. By way of compensation the band were invited back on to the show to play live the following week, and this time their performance passed off smoothly." - Wikipedia
