The unexpected joys of Spotify

1. 

   Hi Mark,

   A couple of things…

   Strangely I’ve written a couple of recent pieces about Spotify and GP-O in these pages which may be of interest…..

   Yes, Yes, Yes as Karen O meets GP-O
   and
   Spotify…Free but for how long?

   ….but stranger still, when GP-O was my boyhood neighbour in Links Drive, Solihull, Frank Ifield would visit our street from time to time. He had an auntie or a cousin or some relative (my eight year old’s memory can’t furnish fine detail here) and there was a tremor of excitement each time the yodelling Aussie dropped by. I wonder if the junior Neil Megson recalls this – he’s actually bound to as he must have been at least 15 at this time and a huge popular music fan, though it was Brian Jones and the Stones, of course, rather than ‘I Remember You’ who rocked Mr TG’s boat at the time.

   But how does Clodagh’s oeuvre sound after these many years? (See you in the gym!) (That should leave Mr Warner suitably perplexed!)

   How strange that I should have been reminiscing with myself this week about seeing, and saying “Hello” to Clodagh outside Boots the Chemist on Walm Lane in Willesden in 1976 when I was a smily pre-teenager. Perhaps it’s time for her come-back tour.
