Here’s a new release for a change :o) It’s Foreign Television’s version of They Don’t Know, recorded in Moscow in November 2019 as the second song on the ‘Minus 27’ release.
Foreign Television is the solo project of Francis Allen, a musician from Wales, currently based in Moscow.

How the Kinks classic 'Days' has touched peoples livesHeard a bit of it on R4 this morning. Interesting. Still think Kirsty's version is better than the original, but have yet to hear the other covers!
Not a good idea to listen to this at work- very emotional so tissues needed. Very touching to hear how a song can mean soo much to people. I think kirsty's version of days being heard on the radio first got me to listen to her! Got the kite album as a record from the library and it went from there!
The sudden and sad death of the utterly brilliant Neil Innes prompts me to remember that Kirsty covered one of Neil's songs.

Busy Life Written by Neil Innes Lyrics A busy life keeps a body busy With so many same old things to do So why not stop a while and take a good look around? Maybe you will find out something new to yo...How sweet to be an idiot, RIP, NEIL.
youtu.be/TvsUCkRGdTk has the theme tune sung by Kirsty at the beginning!
Oh wow! I haven’t heard that before! Thanks Terry!😊
I have never heard of this before!!
The YouTube upload has an audio glitch about 45 seconds in. I hereby offer an mp3 of my almost-fix of it! There's still a bit of sound-waver - ~35 sec. in on the mp3 - but I believe it still constitutes a proper upgrade. UNFORTUNATELY, the clowns who run Facebook don't allow such audio-file attachments in regular posts. If any of you are interested in a copy, Messenger me and I can pass it on in a reply. (Why FB allows mp3's on Messenger, but not on their usual pages . . . like I said - clowns.)
