So why did it happen? At one of the famous strategy meetings at the local McDonalds, Fatty Watkins (East17's manager) sang a rendition of W.E.G.
The boys were unimpressed, but Fatty had an idea - a cover version of the old Pet Shop Boys' track. "But Tony writes the music, man!" cried the lads, but slowly, one by one, they were convinced - it makes so much sense - East End Boys meet West End Girls! Why not an original song? We're saving them for the new album and the big tour...
So here's a classic song treated with the greatest respect from a lot of respected people including: The Groove Corporation (ex-electribe 101), Bleep and Booster - the electro space cadets from shiny Sheffield, Phil Harding and Ian Curnow (CHAPS) and Mykaell S Riley summoned to add his skills to the "Grooves" basic production.
