    There She Goes is possibly my favourite ever pop song ... just checked, it didn’t even reach the top ten. Crazy.

    There was a song called Saturday Morning Confusion by Bobby Russell in the early seventies.

    Never got in the hit parade but I thought it was really clever.

    Probably says more about me.

    Andy from The Motors lives in the village I grew up in and I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know him quite well. He’s a fantastic songwriter and recently released his new album!

    Vienna should have got to number 1.

    Ain't No Pleasing You - should have been a massive worldwide hit, but was hampered by the accents.

    Massively under-rated pop song: That's Love That It Is by Blancmange.

    I always thought Bill Nelson deserved greater commercial success, but given that his more popular records were always interspersed with the out and out avant-garde stuff I can only presume he never really wanted it.
