Chris Turnbull Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Can't think of many artists I've spent as much time listening to over the years - from being blown away when I first heard 'Wade in the Water' at Tommy Smith's Birch nights at Ashton Manchester early 90's, the fabulous 'Hurt so bad' being the background music on Richard Searling's show for years ("next Saturday night at the Chadderton Bowling Club, Oldham", etc), through Spring High and so many others - never far from my turntable. Thank you Sir for all the wonderful music - here's a particular favourite of mine:- 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
