I saw her show in the 80’s. Just as good on stage as she was on recordings.
Very apt Zen, very apt indeed.
A rather rainy Good morning to you, has anybody told the weather it’s May?
Still electrifying on stage I’m told.
She has that very distinctive voice, wonderful.
Thanks, Zen yes, I totally agree, Val. V slow broadband today so I’ll leave you to try this one, Zen
Perfect for today with rain trickling down the windows or the dead of night, on repeat, when all else is silent.
Groove Armada. The Hands of Time.
Elkie Brookes! Blimey blast from past. I remember watching her when I was about 10, singing that No more the Fool song on Top of the Pops – my mum was shaking her head tutting about ‘some women having no brains’ in the manner she usually reserved for the Bangles. But oh, I so wanted to be Elkie…
Thanks Janh, nice piece.
Groove Armada Jan, I love them; their ‘At the River’ was one of their best.
I’m not sure who Ekyie Brooks or totp is but for relaxation and stimulation I always listen to The Magic Flute. Just magic.
My youngest’s debut was in this.
Katyk are you completely out of touch with modern music?
On the contrary zen but so much of today’s commercial hype leaves me cold. There is absolutely no depth or range to a lot of today’s music. This is a simple pop song and it’s all been done before so why not listen to the original scores is what I say. I have a degree in musical studies admittedly and although I do have a few fave modern bands, I doubt that you would have heard of them.
Katy; hiya. Here’s one of my Mozart faves, from the Marriage of Figaro. Gets me going every time!
