Brilliant piece

Thanks for posting the Pat P article. "Do It" was and still is one of my all time favorite's from the WC days. A previous article I found interesting was this: -

It gives a good insight into her experience's of the Music Business - bit sad! - and her encounter with Simon S and Shalimar. Ian D has mentioned the Shalimar connection. Again, an interesting version of events from her side.

All the best
