Hello all. Watching the marvellous 'Don't Falter' on this edition (a single of the year which to my memory seemed to disappear without trace amost as soon as it appeared) I realised that Lauren Laverne could've had the rare honour of being on 2 TV channels at once. Both BBC. Sadly The One Show is mysteriously off the air till the 27th.
ReplyDeleteStill what a joy to hear that single again.
Also loved 'Glorious', self fancier the singer showed himself to be notwithstanding. Fabulous chorus to that and a Jeff Buckleyish falsetto from 2000 I can bear. Geneva another exception though I doubt they got on the show.
