Gangway came out of Copenhagen in 1982, a Danish band with a gift for bright, airy melodies and a light, jangling touch. The core stayed steady: Allan Jensen singing, Henrik Balling on guitar and Torben Johansen, also of Escape Artists, on keyboards. Behind them the drum stool kept changing hands, from Jan Christensen to Gorm Ravn-Jonsen, then Cai Bojsen-Møller and finally Jeppe Moesgaard.
"My Girl and Me", from 1986, is the one that crossed over to the countdowns, a sweet, sunlit little song with a melody that hums along on its own. The band kept at it until 1998 and has been back together since 2017.
