Sleaford Mods at the Leeds Beckett Students Union (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
“West End Girls is a song that’s very close to my heart, my coming-of-age track in so many ways,” Sleaford Mods’ Andrew Fearn said.
Sleaford Mods have unveiled their cover of Pet Shop Boys‘ classic single West End Girls, and it’s all in aid of a great cause.
With the blessing of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, who have remixed their own version of the cover for its limited edition single version, it’s set to be released physically on December 15th with profits going to Shelter – Jason Williamson added:
I’ve been listening to the Pet Shop Boys’ albums Please and Actually a lot, the music still fits this landscape so well. When Andrew suggested we cover West End Girls, it was important to honour the track’s brilliance. So, when Neil and Chris gave the track their blessing our tiny minds were blown, and when we received their remix… it was almost too much. It was brilliant!
