Love a bit of Phyllis Dillon

Definitely in my top 5 digital tunes:

Bloody love Freddie. Saw him about 15 years ago at the Pavilion Theatre and he came outside afterwards and had a smoke with us. Absolute legend. I have photos on an old phone somewhere Still touring too

Well put if you ask me

Love it, nice one! I still have the ticket stub somewhere

Good point, although I think I heard the UB40 version before Billie Holiday's!

Yeah I was thinking of those 2 and Present Arms in dub. I was just a little bit too young for the 1981 gig, I would only have been 11. Pretty sure it was the following year that my folks let me go, on my own. You have to love 70s and 80s parenting.

No I haven't read it. Thanks for the recommendation, it looks like a great read Edit: just found a 2nd hand hardback in good nick on wob.com for £7.40. happy days

Wear yuh size! Quality

Yeah it does. Robert Lee is one of those artists that went under the radar a little. A bit like Scion Sashay Success. This has to be one of my all-time favourite digital tracks. Serious business 😁
