This is an independently run site with no direct source of income. You can help me out by buying something from amazon via these links.
and freeworld gets a small commission each time. Best of all, it costs you nothing extra!
If you don’t wish to buy from amazon you can still help me out by sending a donation via Paypal, all donations most welcome, no matter how small!
You don’t get any additional site content, you just get to feel good about yourself :o) We would offer a smaller amount but it would just disappear in paypal fees.
We do not store any personal information from visitors, with the exception of the contact form, comments boxes and guest book. Your IP address is never recorded.
We don't display a lot of ads on this website. There are some small links to amazon in the left banner, if you choose to buy stuff from there using these links we will get a small commission, that's all. You don't have to.
On pages with an embedded YouTube video, we have no control over what YouTube (Google) does, and they may show onscreen ads, and may track your visits to those pages and beyond. If you click through on those ads the copyright holders will receive a small commission if they have asserted their rights (e.g. Union Square), which is why we are permitted to use those links.
We also use google analytics for general visitor statistics (this is not personally identifiable by us, though it might be by google).
I’ve been listening to her music a lot this week, especially the Kite and Titanic Days albums. I miss her talent so much. She was such a master of matching tone to lyrics.
Happy birthday, Kirsty MacColl. The best at music of all time and a hero throughout her life in a way that continues to resonate to so many.
I hope to be in England someday; ideally for Kirstyfest but maybe just to see the bench. Many thanks to you all for this excellent website.
Here’s hoping we hear some of those mysterious demo recordings before the next ten ten.
Here is a video of Jean Newlove that I’d posted to YouTube a few years ago. [Link deleted]
Thank you Abe. I hope you get to Kirstyfest soon. Everyone is friendly and welcoming.
I have enjoyed the unreleased demos.
I have seen that video of Jean before. It’s brilliant footage from the 1940s.
