Perhaps it's time for her come-back tour.

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.
