Anastasia Grivogiannis, Pablo Copa and Alexander Persson recently performed a great version of ‘Chip Shop’ at the Cafe Hangmattan in Goteborg, Sweden.

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a good day so far. As I said in the ‘VH1 Tribute’ post yesterday, I am sharing rare Kirsty audio and video from the Terry Hurley collection. You may recall that I did a piece on Kirstyfest 2023 and I mentioned that Terry gave me his Kirsty cuttings, VHS and cassettes. Since then, most of the VHS tapes and cassettes have been digitised. The following videos and audio recordings are not available anywhere else online. Like I said yesterday, I don’t want to upload them on YouTube due to copyright reasons and you get to download these if you wish.

Hello everyone,

As some of you may know, music channel VH1 made a tribute programme to Kirsty in 2001. It contained interviews with her from 1989, 1991 and 1995. It used to be on YouTube 15 years ago and was removed unfortunately. For those who have never seen it or want to watch it again, you’re in luck! I am sharing it with all of you via Google Drive.  I don’t want to upload it on YouTube due to copyright reasons and plus, you have the option to download the video to keep.

I will also be sharing rare Kirsty related audio and video from the Terry Hurley collection via Google Drive and some from MEGA.  More details in the next post!

On 26th February, Dr Joe Bennett was in conversation with Gordon Smart on his BBC Radio 5 Live show about storytellers in songwriting. Kirsty, along with artists like Tom Petty and Harry Nilsson are discussed in this episode. They start talking about Kirsty and her song, ‘What Do Pretty Girls Do?’ at 20.52.

From Ruby

The One Night Stand Rock & Roll Band did a  recording of ‘Chip Shop’, which was uploaded on 19th February.

On 2nd March, Amanda J R uploaded her own version of the song.
