I do hate repeats. After the legal battle of Boney M vs Boney M, where the original members were split over who could perform under the name after the now deceased male singer Bobby Farrell toured under their name, further compounded by the fact he never sang on their records, we get another one, with three members of Bucks Fizz going against the other member of who can tour under that name.
Dismissing the fact whether they should reunite at all (for every 'Take That' there's a 'Boyzone', though 'Duran Duran' and 'Blondie', in particular, have done well, though in the latter case though the albums are great their live credentials are, cough, questionable) you do wonder how these petty disputes come about but it is a legal minefield. You have one original member already having trademarked the name but performing with three newc members, verses three original members coming later to the game wanting the name.
Obviously Robert Gubby should have the copyright as he secured it first but as a punter I'd want to see the three - arguably more famous - members and would be cheated to have seen the three new singers recently recruited.
It'll be interesting to see where it goes from here and what happens when they've finished 'making their mind up'.
Sorry...
