Soundtrack to my life
A selection of YouTube videos that represent my rather eclectic taste!
It’s not exhaustive and and I have probably missed a bunch of important things but I will try to embellish as time goes on.

Probably cried once or twice in the crowd listening to this
One of my favourite live songs to dance to

The start of a great solo career
Memories of trips to New York and Greece still strong with this track
John Martyn’s version that I mentioned in the Portishead blurb. The album cover represents the church that he turned into a recording studio
New song, somewhat cliché video
What a great video with a bunch of other musicians, like Jarvis Cocker, in the dance scenes
This up there with Gimme Shelter and Sympathy for the Devil
The original hallelujah
One of my favourite Nick Cave songs. Not sure how this made it past the TV censors! Just amazing seeing him do it live, which is getting rarer these days. And these clips with his girlfriend at the time PJ Harvey!
David Bowie’s last two albums just blew me away but Blackstar is the most amazing final album ever.
Yes, Nick Cave is religious
How it all started
His whole life in 10 min
Two great tracks marvelously segued
Such a poignant rendition, somewhat foretelling the beginning of the end, as he drank himself to the grave.
My last concert before he died. Closing song of the set
A saw Peter Hammill several times in London while I lived there, so was thrilled to see him in Paris recently
John did like his Whisky and Rhum !
From John’s classic “divorce” album Grace and Danger
Saw Robin Trower at Newcastle City hall in the 70s. Was hoping to see him again in Yorkshire in 2021/22 but covid got in the way.
Title track of his amazing final album.
Once of the most inspirational Bowie songs. “We can be heroes, just for one day” And isn’t Gail Ann Dorsey fantastic on bass
Including this odd video of the Big Man playing on Hastings beach. I rough sort of a place but he is clearly up for it, even if knocking back a large Rhum & Coke in the process. Put’s his best Scottish accent on too.
