This was posted on a Duran FB group, saying it was Nick and John from 1978. I knew right away it definitely not Nick and not JT either. Poster did not answer my question on where she got it. I sent it to Katy and she wrote back within an hour. Definitely not nick but i can’t tell if that’s JT or not - doesn’t look like his hands. i am saying fake!
My guess is somebody either mislabeled it or didn't know who it was and picked Nick and John because it was kind of their style-ish. Does anyone know who it is?

isn't that Simon Colley & Stephen Duffy from The Hawks/The Subterranean Hawks? [Edit] Quick search & yes it is - www.davekusworth.com/pic.php?sect=3&gid=&set=2&pic=2&back=gallery - & if you scroll forward 2 photos then there's a pic of David Twist & Simon Colley in the same location; so definitely Hawks era. [Edit 2] & i would 'suspect' that the info on that site's accurate as Dave Kusworth was in The Hawks (& also TV Eye with Andy Wickett).

Hey, thanks, pocketdemon! That was driving me crazy that all the girls were ogling over the picture, totally thinking it was Nick and John...and I knew there was no way that it could be. Appreciate the digging and there are some neat pics on that site as well. I love looking at old photos like that!

No problem at all. Yeah, chances are someone did a search for early Duran members going back but then forgot to label it.

I know... At first look, I'm like "oh hell no!" lol But they were going on about how "young" and "cute" they were, and how sexy John's long fingers were. That was too much for me... I had to set them straight!

There's times when i wonder whether i'm missing out on something by doing very little with facebook, but then something like this reminds me that it's probably better to (mostly) hide.
Hurray for the world... ...though maybe i'm just tired.

No worries, gothicblue! I'm on FB but I don't spend hours on it. Some times I get on for like 5 minutes to browse then I'm off it. I mostly use it to keep in touch with family. Now I do use it to help promote my radio show because social media is the way to do things now...and I'm still playing catch up! lol If they don't share with you then stop sharing with them!

Sorry, i wasn't meaning that i wasn't on FB at all - simply that i really don't use it for much of anything other than a news feed for a few bands & to vaguely keep track of a couple of people who i don't communicate with either often or only spasmodically... Well, it's some combination of not wanting to give my secrets away to all & sundry, whilst being uber-aware that my life's really not that exciting & no one gives a monkey's what i had for dinner or what pub i went to or what TV shows i'm watching or whatever... There's enough noise out there without adding stupid amounts more imho. (The one exception was tagging myself in a couple of the official Wilton's Hall photos - but that was just me showing off of course... The only saving grace being that it was showing off to people who mostly don't care about D2.) Tbh, the thing that would annoy me more is the dismissive attitude you're describing, as that's really quite shonky imho... Okay, i'm not a huge one for online photos - more official vids & TV/radio shows & whatnot instead - but i've never had that kind of reaction from the people i deal with. Okay, there's times when people will email me about stuff that's already been archived & whatnot previously, but i've always made it clear to everyone that i'd rather be told several times & things are definitely seen/heard than anyone miss out - & ttbomk then the people i deal with regularly feel the same & accept my occasional cock ups; as none of us are infallible of course. (i'm not 100% sure why people email me & then it's my job to email the whole group with some of the things - it must be a tradition or an old charter or something) & the same with a couple of people & eBay & discogs & whatnot, where it's much better that someone tells me that there's something up that they believe i need & would be really interested in & it be something in the collection already than not be told. Anyway, that's gone slightly off track; it's past 6.20am & haven't slept... i guess the point i was aiming for that, whilst i know you seem to be more annoyed about not having been told about stuff by others than what my problem would have been, i can certainly understand why you're feeling the way you are &, whilst obviously not my doing, i'm sorry that people have made you feel that way over the last days. Otherwise, of course we need more than this board - it's just that i don't think that FB & having all the friends on there in the world is the answer Duran-wise... Well, just having a few key people (who've unluckily gotten trapped in my orbit along the way) & email is much more workable for me.
