Wow...I'm starting to feel really old as I had a brief stint as a dance-radio DJ in the 80's and Bronski Beat and The Communards were staples on the playlist. Aside for having a vague memory of Somerville playing a show at Tracks in Washington, DC sometime in the mid/late 90's, I completely lost track of Somerville after The Communards.

Last weekend I saw this video posted of a Berlin street busker playing "Smalltown Boy" who is joined mid-song by Somerville, who appears to have been walking his dog. There is no mistaking Somerville's falsetto but the busker turns to him at the end and asks "Is it you?".
