1000000 songs from SPOTIFY about...

Thanks GT. I do like Fionn Regan but Five Leaves Left must be one of my favourite records of all time. Think the reissuing on cd in the 1990s led to far greater awareness. Lat.

Actually in my case it was thinking about the connection between him & John Martyn that led me back to him.

Yes Global, I entirely take that point.

Film :

Soley Soley by Middle of The Road featured in the Argentine film ' La Mujer Sin Cabeza ' which was a late Stoke Film Theatre substitute
for 'Las Acacias' which had decided to stay in Bristol.

I thought someone had hacked into your Spotify account and posted something truly dreadful.

Actually I still do...but luckily, as you can see, I took precautions so I didn't have to listen to all of it.

Mrs GT wasn't so lucky...



But thanks for the Kouyate Sory Kandia which had quite a different effect.

Yes, thank you Paul for the Guinea. Who won last night? Hope it was someone good.

Not sure if I get all of the 1970s references. I do though remember Soley Soley by Middle of the Road. As I recall, it was a year or two after Polly Browne was in the charts with Pickettywitch. Sadly the Picketty Witch is now only a pub in Yeovil. Here just before a studio recording from the 1990s is lead singer Polly Browne in 2009 (arguably) treading the boards at the age of 62 -

[Lateralthinking1]

Thanks Paul. A worthy winner I hope. We'll hear tomorrow.

[Paul Sherratt]

>>We'll hear tomorrow

You will. In what, imo, was a quite tremendous production by the R3 team.
One advantage of being there was seeing the film of their trips with the two previous winners.
Impressive and moving. I hope they put it up on the website.

An interesting film.

Good luck to José Hernando Noguera. A pity that there doesn't appear to be anything on Spotify by Egidio Cuadrado.

You can find him on UTube Lat

I'm revisiting some of our greatest lists from the '100 songs about' series - Ye Olde Spottly Playlists;

forgotten how good some of them were.... the one about birds is quite appropriate today..

Fired by your enthusiasm Global, I thought I'd fire up a collab on all things Family - contributions welcome.

Thank you for the link Global. I like it. Sad to say that I missed the birdie days this weekend. But I once managed a bird study of national importance and ruined the British economy by postponing a monstrous bird unfriendly new airport.

JC - A family list. Sounds good to me.

[EugeniaA]

i recommend you all the songs by 1 republic ;)
especially 'everybody loves me' :)

[Paul Sherratt]

Careful with that recommendation, EugeniA.
