Here comes the first in a new, occasional series from Mayhem, Weird Music Facts. We are kicking off with a story that links the Proclaimers to Dexys Midnight Runners! Apparently, the Proclaimers’ early demos to record labels were funded by Dexys’ Kevin Rowland. (Thanks to Popbitch for this wonderful snippet). A copy of the demo tape that Rowland helped to fund found its way to the then indie darlings the Housemartins who then invited the Proclaimers to support them on their 1986 UK tour.
