The Vivienne at Christmas (Edited)
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0025n53?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile
Hearing of James’s (The Vivienne) untimely death at the age of only 32 , 🥲 reminded me of his/their wonderful Christmas broadcast on Radio Wales. Born and bred in Wales (James) The Vivienne was a scouser 😂😂
What’s your feeling about this ?
Heard it in another group. Listening to the lyrics it made me think

Incredibly repetitive song by George Harrison but it still makes me smile
Ding Dong 😂

We all knew it could happen any day but it was still an awful shock
Personally I have listened to both and think it’s just coincidence
They won’t stop me listening to her album 25, where it’s track 9 😉

Who is ....... (Edited)
.... the guy on the guitar pictured with Marty Wilde and Billy Fury in 1958?
I love this because Taylor Swift’s parents filmed a music video for their daughter without knowing it and in it she even unwraps her first guitar

Not a Christmas song - but, perhaps 🤔
It has some lovely words, thoughts of how we may have struggled but are fighting back as best we can, carrying on climbing ….

Wouldn't it be wonderful........

What do you think ?
Today is National Album Day. People are being asked to choose their favourite album by a British group. What is yours?
My choice. ELO - Out of the Blue.
If I could choose a non-british album it would be Blondie - Parallel Lines.

Music and Art . Underwood and Bowie (Edited)
Wasn’t sure which group to put this is in but the fact that it explains why David Bowie had different colour eyes I thought I’d put it in the music group

I just heard this prog on Radio 4 and really enjoyed it - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00237nb It turns out that it's been running for a long time, so I'll do a hunt to see how many previous episodes are available and what they cover. I'd never really listened to Oasis before! Maybe everyone here already knows the prog, but I tend to listen to Radio 3 all day as I can work alongside classical music, but not any music with words in it.
But I'm biased. My late brother-in-law's brother is playing guitar and vocals on his new single.

Ukay Ukes (Edited)
I bought my husband a banjolele for his birthday and we saw these guys playing electric ukuleles , we decided to go last night. It started early so we thought we’d stay a short time but we stayed . They were great fun and the audience danced the night away even though they were mostly in their 70s or 80s.

Working right up to his death, he will be sadly missed by all that knew him
Did you go to those one night stand tours in the 60s with multiple stars in the show? If so, which was the first? For me, it was at Woolwich Granada in 1963 where Roy Orbison topped the bill but the Beatles closed the show because of the screaming which they didn't want continuing into Roy's act. Gerry and the Pacemakers closed the first half. The Beatles sang three songs - you could only hear what they were singing by holding your nose and blowing it. I picked out I saw her standing there and Twist and shout.
Love this clip of Jack Jones singing to an army nurse when entertaining troops late 1965
