I put together a playlist of tracks that remind me of this time of year - some obviously seasonally relevant, some less so. *Also features an old song by some guy called James Leon that was recorded October / November 2004.

The title ‘I Was A Photograph’ actually came from something the artist who inspired the song said when she was sharing her story of life growing up in Rio (where she knew the young woman who inspired another song - the famous ‘The Girl From Ipanema’).

My latest single ‘I Was A Photograph’ was inspired by the experiences of an artist originally from Brazil who knew the young woman who inspired the famous song ‘The Girl From Ipanema’. There’s a Latin-inspired Bossa Nova Mix and an 80’s Synthpop take

After joining this when everyone else did a few months ago I quickly lost interest and stuck with Twitter / X. Noticing how many accounts have been abandoned on there though now, and wondering if maybe people actually are using this?!

Possibly my all time favourite Eurovision entry. Written and produced by the same people as Bucks Fizz (as much as I love The Fizz- Making Your Mind Up not one of my faves of theirs).
