White Love - One Dove (performing on The Beat)

The Beat was an ITV music programme that ran through the 90s. We were invited on to perform three tracks. However, when we arrived we were told that due to Musician Union regulations we would have to have another singer on stage to mime to the sampled chorus vocals on White Love. We refused. It was an utterly ridiculous request. There was a big stand-off where cancelling the whole appearance was threatened, and so London Records got involved. We were eventually forced to comply but you can see from our faces in the video - we are all furious. (Apologies for the poorer quality of audio and video halfway through.)
