Buffalo Springfield - Expecting to Fly

Nile Rodgers - The Land of the Good Groove

Congratulations to all the family gumboots

The Style Council - Have You Ever Had It Blue?

I know mate, I was just teasing Gil Scott Heron - Home Is Where the Hatred Is

That will be a bonus for him. They only got a cup of tea at Southampton.

Can’t think of one mate. ? Oh wait, T Rex - I Love to Boogie

Sad loss is John Sessions. He was a very gifted man. Born in the town where I now live as well so there is a fair bit of sorrow locally today. RIP

Arthur Lee and Love - Alone Again, Or

The Jam - When You're Young

Difficult one to follow that really, but here goes: Bobby Beato and Purple Reign - This Old Man (Knick Knack Paddy Whack)

That's a blast from the past mate, blimey! Erma Franklin - Piece of My Heart

Japan - Life In Tokyo

Scritti Politti - She's a Woman

The Electric Light Orchestra - Above the Clouds (Paul Weller had a song with the same title)

The Jam - To Be Someone (Must Be a Wonderful Thing)

He still works very hard these days mate, he’s a very driven bloke. I haven’t liked everything he’s done by a long chalk but we are lucky to have him and his last 3 or 4 albums have been incredible for a guy his age.

Typical of Paul Weller. Spends 30 odd years telling anyone who will listen that he would never reform The Jam (and rightly so) and then goes and contributes to the excellent documentary on The Style Council by - guess what - reforming The Style Council (albeit just for one song but it was still a fantastic moment). Not sure how his current wife took to seeing his ex wife with him in his recording studio though....

Ocean Colour Scene - Lining Your Pockets

Scissor Sisters - I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’

The English Beat - Two Swords

Spot on Chaddy

Sparks - This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us

Work is exempt from that aspect of the lockdown as far as I know. My job certainly is. There are supposed to be hotels open for workers.

The Jam - Town Called Malice
