One of my claims to fame, years ago I was waiting for a friend outside a tube station and Don Black passed me. Les Reed also walked by me with a colleague and smiled when he saw I knew who he was, and ANOTHER time in London I was walking down Oxford Street when a man got out a car and walked around the corner, it was Adam Faith.

Also Marian I don't know if I ever mentioned this but I swear I saw Jack Jones in an underground station also many years ago we passed like ships in the night.

It was a nice interview with Steve Wright.

He said that he was a great friend of Matt and his career only took off when Matt asked him to write the lyrics to a Eurovision song that Matt loved,as we know called Warum Nur Warum and then Walk Away.
They then played Walk Away.

He was mainly on to talk about a concert he is doing on October 3rd at the Royal Festival Hall called 'A Life In Song' introduced by Michael Grade.

It sounds a fabulous show.We may get to see /hear it as the BBC are recording it. :D :D

That's not the version I have, I have a feeling it's on the LP she did with Pete Fountain but I'd have to check.
