Its hard not to mention or hint towards the upsetting events of last week, but for my part I must leave those kind of comments & discussions to the news people…….my shows all about music and lite afterall, and I’m no Paxman.
Twofers today came from a band who were bigger record sellers then the Beatles; who were the band they semi parodied. I am of course referring to The Monkeys – We played “I’m a Believer’ and ‘ Day Dream believer’.
