Ha! Remember the video for 'Heart And Soul' ?  Open bed truck and folks rocking out on it :)
Wasn't the lead singer of Def Lepard the dude behind putting 'No Sweat' together?

Just found the video - but I think there must be more than one version, no truck in this one.

They are upstairs in the old "Point Depot" in Dublin - note, some U2s videos were filmed up there too

Interesting fact, Graham Hopkins from 'My Little Funhouse' joining Therapy? in 1996, taking over from Fyfe Ewing.
