Raise hands how many people have heard of this song.........Hmmmm two hands and they are from the same guy, bloody great.
"Lewie looked likely to remain a one hit wonder until he was signed up by Stiff Records in 1977. Following appearances on the Stiff package tours, he finally scored a solo hit with the humorous synthpop number, "You'll Always Find Me in the Kitchen at Parties" (1980) - which made the British Top 20. Although his next single "Big Shot - Momentarily" failed to make any impact, by the end of the year he was back in the charts with what became his biggest (and, to date, last) UK hit, "Stop The Cavalry". He was, however, to reach No 2 on the Australian charts in 1981 with "Louise (We Get It Right)".
