My Faves
I’ve decided to use this page to list some of my favourite records and songs. (Yes the two are different.)
This is the music that when it comes on the radio makes me stop in my tracks (er..) and just appreciate. Some are singles. Some are albums. Some are from EPs. Some are ‘naff’. Some are cool. Some you’ve never heard of. Check them out. ‘Coz they’re all all magnificent.
