Dettwork South East by Blak Twang...

a classic hip-hop track, the only song I know of that mentions my "manor"

"If you get my meaning,
Steaming,
Robbing and stealing, in West Ealing."

...wurd. for windows.

Ah, that reminds me that I have 'Richmond' by Andy Roberts (another Matt spin of old).

Thanks Sie - would be great to get the Blossom Dearie in MP3 format, just in case - though playing it out would break all ILN rules

! I think the only MP3 played was of an old 78, which was fair enough..... but - it's all about the music after all, and that does seem to be a key track. (I have the Peddlers).
