Pretty much everyone was number one when I was born. Happy early Christmas! #bandaidbaby

I'm actually obsessed with this project and for the last couple of years have been on a mission to see as many of the surviving participants in concert as possible. The pandemic put a stop to that for a while but last week I ticked four more off my list by seeing Duran Duran in Birmingham. Now waiting impatiently for the Boomtown Rats to reschedule their tour...

The Rats are playing the Palladium in That Up London next month, sparklecloud...

They're one of my favourite bands ever. Excitement is high.

I will blog about it at some point if people are interested!

Sadly I can't justify another trip to London next month - I'm already going down for the marathon. I'm hoping they reschedule the originally planned tour as they were due to play Sage Gateshead up here, which would have been fab.

oi you
Ok, a little more research reveals that music did, in fact, exist a long long time ago.

I’ve found this was top of music sales for around 9weeks when I was born.

Les Paul? Name sounds familiar.
