    Dexys?

    They did play it last time. There is a ( terrible) recording of it on YouTube. This is a decent recording from around the same time, though the album version in uniquely polished.

    Just listened to this again after a number of years. Still has the same affect now as the very first time I heard it. It is etherealy ambiguous, blurry. You can never be sure about what it all means yet you feel an unquestionable emotional, palpational connection. If you don't know it, seek it out.

    Don't Stand me Down is the best of all their records. This is one for the Brushstrokes fans out there. An unexpected look for Kevin singing a very beautiful song very beautifully.

    This cover with the unlikely presence of the (now) queen is one of my very favorite things...

    Ha yes. Best TOTP moment ever!

    You see, I was at the front at that Acoustic Stage set last time and thought it was brilliant, the atmosphere around where I stood was just joyous. I've seen Dexys several times and they are always genius. In forty years they've never produced a dud in my view. All this talk of old stuff good and new stuff bad is bollocks. Just go with an open mind and hear whatever they go with on the day and if your ears are open I'll guarantee you'll enjoy. Rolland's voice alone is extraordinary.

  8. Call for volunteers: can you lend us your painting, building or crafting skills? Do you have skills that could help CND create eye-catching displays at events in 2024? Are you a dab hand at woodwork, painting or assembling creative displays? CND is reaching out in search of volunteers with DIY and other creative experience to help us make a significant visual impact at various events throughout the year. Your skills in woodworking, painting, crochet, and other activities could play a crucial role in creating eye-catching displays and installations that amplify our message of peace and nuclear disarmament. The main event for which we need some support is Glastonbury Festival where we have two stalls. Glastonbury is an important part of CND's calendar and offers a unique outreach and profile-raising opportunity to a wide variety of festival-goers: from newcomers to those familiar with CND's decades-long relationshipwith the festival. Each year, we aim to have a strong visual presence that resonates with attendees and promotes our cause. Last year's eco-friendly polling boards - painted by our talented volunteer Kirsty - allowed people to share what they would spend £205 billion on. This left a powerful visual display by the end of the weekend, as more and more people chose funding the NHS, education, and the environment, over new nuclear weapons. If you can dedicate some of your time and expertise to help us prepare this year's creative display, please get in touch with us at information@cnduk.org. Please provide your name, contact details, a brief overview of your DIY/creative experience, and your availability over the next few months. Other volunteering roles at CND As a grassroots campaign, our efforts to create a safer world would not be possible without the support of volunteers. So even if DIY isn't your forte, there are lots of other ways to help! We are actively seeking volunteers for other roles such as placard-making, stewarding, or photography at various CND events throughout the year. Your involvement, no matter how small, makes a significant difference in advancing the cause of nuclear disarmament. If you're interested in general volunteering opportunities, please contact us at information@cnduk.org with any relevant skills and experience.

  11. This is Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley's son YG Marley. Keep up. Outstanding!
  12. Elton John was too big last year. On my way to Rudimental, I stopped off at Mica Paris at Avalon. A fine act and one I was tempted to watch and listen to. There were maybe 10 people there. For this. That is wrong.
