Expertise

I know a lot of 80's music from the UK. I can tell you who sang what and when. I can possibly help out with questions about music videos and music lyrics. I may be able to answer questions on the American charts but this is NOT my strong-point.

Experience

I have every 'Now that's what I call music' compilation from no 1 to no 50, have every 'Hits' compilation from 1 to 5. I have lot's of 80s music videos.
