In 1987, Andrew Mann joins Clive Farrington to replace departed members of his Manchester-based group Beau Leisure after supporting them as a beat poet on a number of shows. They begin writing songs and recording demos together, sometimes joined by Mann’s friend Corinne Drewery (Swing Out Sister).
After collaborating on a brand new song, “The Promise”, they soon land a record deal with Elektra Record’s Simon Potts. Unfortunately, Elektra closes its London office, but the band is picked up by Virgin UK’s 10 Records’ Mick Clark. Producers Ben Rogan (who had worked with Sade) and Richard James Burgess take a special interest in the band and “The Promise” is released as a 12″ vinyl dance disc.
Sometime in 1986, a relative of the original keyboard player leaves UK shores for a new job and life in San Francisco, and is given a copy of “The Promise” to take with him. He brings the record into a local radio station, Live 105, and they immediately put it into heavy rotation! From there, the song spreads to other major radio stations across the US and Canada!
