The plaque was unveiled by Kirsty’s youngest son, Louis in front of the house owners, Darren and Sharon Size, friends and neighbours.

Kirsty’s triumphant return to the stage in late 1999 (after a quick warm up appearance in Dublin) saw two nights with a new touring band at the Jazz Café in north London, presenting her new material which would become ‘Tropical Brainstorm’.  She was anxious about it all of course but it would all come good and today highlights from the first of those two nights are released on streaming services.

Features some lovely cover artwork by Estuary English.

Long lost “second album” ‘Real’ is now available on streaming services.  ‘Real’ includes the previously unreleased 12-inch version of ‘Berlin’, and what would have been its B-Side, ‘Rhythm Of The Real Thing’.

The cover artwork is from a 1983 photo by Paul Cox, reworked by Estuary English design house.  Keen eyed fans may notice that while the original film stock included the brand name ILFORD FP4, this has been carefully tweaked for our sleeve, and now reads CROYDON CR7.

Here are the original tape boxes. The handwriting is that of engineer Phil Bodger. It actually tells us that ‘Berlin’ was going to be Polydor single POSP569, and the extended version was going to be POSPX569, so they got as far as allocating catalogue numbers.

This week, Tom Willner uploaded a video of Urban Blue Band performing a fun cover of ‘In These Shoes?’ at the Kirkwood Wine Stroll in Atlanta, Georgia.
