saw them at the Empire be very early 70's supporting Jethro Tull i'd have been 17 i was with the future Mrs Greenstreet
now, everyone has an opinion and that's the way it should be. I'm late 30s and imo, 90 percent of the music out there today is absolute dog ****. Genuinely most of it sounds the same, or "artists" keep knocking out the same sounding ****e album after album, moaning about love, or run of the mill wedding style ****e aimed at particular people. Sheerans targets are nostalgia but mostly "chin up, there's someone for everyone" and credit to him, it's made him rich. Now I know every generation says the same about it sounding the same, but I think we've reached a day where that argument is valid, I mean, Kate Bush is number 1 made popular by a show set in the 80s. even in the 90s and 2000s there was a mix of Rock,Pop,RnB, boy and girl bands, groups, solo stuff. Daniel Bedingfield was doing Ed Sheeran stuff before Ed Sheeran was 20 years ago but there was no place for it. But I digress. Here is Sam Ryder. Finally, someone with genuine talent that could probably sing anything. A lad that was noticed on Tiktok, but I believe was already at a liable.He should have won Eurovison with this but didn't for obvious reasons.Summertime ball was live at Wembley.... at THAT end of the stadium, and at certain points.... Freddie made an apprentice. This could be a one trick pony, but imo I think not.
Virginia Plain was the first single record that I bought, I was given a load of old singles from a juke box at Hetton club One of them was this...
