Front Row: Tanita Tikaram

Radio Four. Straight after the Archers. Front Row. Most evenings I find myself bristling, seething, and wanting to hurl serving dishes at the self-centred smug parasites who crowd out, elbow out, and out-smug preceding luvvies with vacuous, braying, Islington shite. 

Who chooses these ghastly people? 

But, and a very big but, just sometimes, there are diamonds to be found. Tonight it was Tanita Tikaram. She has a new album out shortly. 

For five minutes I was taken back, way back, to another place, another world. I know; I'm banging on about another drop-dead gorgeous husky woman. You'll find a few on this blog if you search the 'Music' tag. But this one is divine. Here's four of her songs; You probably know the first track.











The mind makes leaps. And in one bound I was here: Another fabulous woman.



It's sad that the clod who posted this to YouTube has it listed as '"Tom's Dinner."

I hope you enjoy.
