I really enjoyed Monday’s episode, but I’m not sure what someone unfamiliar with their earlier work would have made of it.

While Neil Sedaka credits Elton John with resurrecting his career, it was really the two albums he recorded at Strawberry Studios that showed he could update his sound – and convinced 10cc that they could be […]

Having a licence fee means that they have to try to provide something for everybody…as they have done for many years.
