This band make me want to jump about with a huge grin on my face! In fact watching the Glasto highlights and hearing them made me do just that!

Listen and enjoy!

This performance starts off with one of my favourites, Casio. What not to like?

Creep Radiohead Glastonbury 2017

I love this song. I remember my son covering this with a band years ago at 'Rock School.' 
I read that Radiohead did a great performance at Glastonbury this year. It would be great to be in that crowd listening to this:

I hope everyone at Glastonbury is having a good time and enjoying the sun!

Bridge Over Troubled Water

This song gives me goose bumps. I am delighted that it is being used as a fund raising record to help the victims of Grenfell Tower.

This is a live version and it is simply beautiful

I am very heartened that people from all over are thinking about the peoplr who have suffered in this tragedy and that so many people want to do something to help.
Recently UK has had a number of tragedies and it is heartening to see the many thousands of good people who come together to offer their support and love.

Something Changed- Pulp.....today something really has changed.

Today the UK are electing their new government.
Last night I watched Jeremy Corbyn's final speech before Voting Day.
He said that when the election was called, the result looked a foregone conclusion but then....
Something changed.
I agree with him.
I can feel it in the air.
More and more people are realising that they want to live in a world that looks after 'the many and not just the few.'
I cannot predict the election result but I do believe that after today, things won't be quite the same again.
I find it exciting that we are making history.
I believe that young people everywhere are starting to realise that they can make a difference and that their voices can be heard.
Young people are our future and they deserve every opportunity.

I love this song. I love this band....
Enjoy....

Heather Small~ Proud ( I am proud of our young people xxx)

I watched the livestream of the One Love Manchester gig yesterday and was so proud of all the children and young people who put aside their fears and enjoyed the wonderful experience.
This morning I woke up with this song in my head:

M People first performed this song in 2000 and Heather sang it again for the 2012 Olympics.
This was another proud moment as London hosted such an inspiring event.

I choose to celebrate diversity, peace, tolerance and love.
I look out for examples of people helping one another every day.
Whenever I look, I see examples of people putting other peope before themselves and this makes me feel happy.

Ariana Grande and all the other musicians put on such a wonderful show yesterday and this serves to remind us all that Humans are incredible and we really are united.
One Love.

Fix You ~Coldplay

I have just been so incredibly moved by watching the livestream 'One Love Manchester' concert tonight.
For me, the highlight was watching Coldplay performing 'Fix You.'

I love Coldplay, I love this song and watching all those brave young people enjoying themselves during the performance was so wonderful to watch.
I am so impressed that Ariana Grande and her team were able to put this together at such short notice.

Humans are on a  bit of a bumpy rideat the moment but it is clear that love will conquer all.

One Love, Manchester

I am so happy that so many musicians have agreed to play at the One Love benefit gig in Manchester on Sunday. I have just been watching The News which has featured interviews with some of the families who attended the recent Ariana Grande Concert. Many have chosen to take up the offer of free tickets so that they can attend the One Love event on Sunday.
While they are understandably apprehensive after what happened before,  they feel that attending Sundays event will help them to experience some closure and  move on.
I hope it is a beautiful, sunny day for them all.

Sisters of Mercy 1969

I really love Sisters Of Mercy. I am sitting in my caravan writing reports for school and I have dug out my old vinyl and am having a very enjoyable trip down memory lane.
This song is particularly good, in my opinion.
This version was played in a John Peel session.
I loved listening to John Peel on the radio when I was young. He played such brilliant music!
