Synopsis

Phillip Schofield introduces the Mockers at this benefit concert at the Christchurch Town Hall which is later broadcast on his youth music show Shazam!. Their first album has just gone straight into the Top 10 and the band are well on their way to becoming pop stars, with Andrew Fagan, resplendent in red frock coat and bare chest, very much out front as one of New Zealand music's great showmen. Six songs are featured including the hits 'Woke Up Today', 'My Girl Thinks She's Cleopatra', 'Alvison Park' and the title track of their album 'Swear It's True'.

Proud to have worked with this talented band and the Chch TVNZ team. The Mockers deserved huge success in the UK. The music was reminiscent of the Kinks and Madness, Fagan's song writing abilities were amazing.

1984. Sweetwaters again. This time the band that took to the stage – featuring newcomer Tim Wedde on keyboards – oozed confidence and professionalism, with a front man who seemed at home rather than overawed by the crowd. The new-look Fagan took to the stage in make-up, wild hair, and a bizarre taste in clothes.
