The Soldiers - Coming Home

Despite my youthful good looks I’m not really that up-to-date with contemporary popular music. I was a student in Leeds during the early 80’s so you can guess my musical preferences. So until I looked at my RSS feeds tonight I knew nothing about this fine record and video - so hat-tip thingy to Mac Uaid who of course like most of his ilk just doesn’t get it (and they never will).

Debut single from The Soldiers available to download now with all proceeds going to the Army Benevolent Fund.

The album, also titled 'Coming Home' is out on Monday 26th October featuring the this single and 14 other moving tracks. A share of the proceeds are going to the Army Benevolent, Help For Heroes and The Royal British Legion.

Damien McKee said...

Seeing as you like 80's music did you ever remember Belinda Carlisle,Sonia,T'Pau,Debbie Gibson,Cyndi Lauper etc and what did you think of them?

John Gray said...

Hi Damien
Belinda ok but Cyndi Lauper is the biz

Damien McKee said...

What about Cliff Richard,Kylie Minogue,Richard Marx,Don Henley etc?

John Gray said...

Cliff - yes, Kylie - yes. Not sure about other 2?

Damien McKee said...

In regards to comedy what was your view on Jim Davidson,Bernard Manning,Roy Chubby Brown etc?

John Gray said...

in your order - yob, bigot and foul mouth.

Not my cut of T

Damien McKee said...

However wouldn't you agree that whilst Manning's humour was offensive,he was what he was-friendly, down to earth,no nonsense etc and behind the brash exterior lay a kind hearted person who wasn't a snob unlike Jo Brand or Cilla Black!

John Gray said...

I don't know any of them. So maybe this is true. He still seemed to me to be a bigot.

Damien McKee said...

I take it you would not have beeen a fan of Samantha Fox then?

John Gray said...

not really.

Damien McKee said...

What about Cilla Black or Phil Collins then?

John Gray said...

R Cilla is lovely as always. Mr Collins is not as nice but part of my musical heritage.

Damien McKee said...

I take you oppose what Peter Stringfellow does for a living?

John Gray said...

Yes
