Bill Fay RIP. Absolutely crushing news. The loveliest person I ever interviewed. Gracious, wise and humble. I wanted to write a book about him. He declined, believing the commitment involved would take him away from his great joy in life, composing songs. Fly on Bill. Those songs will last forever.

“Yes I Will”
(UK #9 / SWE #11, 22nd Jan 1965)
song.link/gb/i/1750182551
My favourite single by Salford’s finest. Well, apart from “Bus Stop” anyway. Goosebump-inducing harmonies into a major/minor chord change. Recorded on hearing Carole King’s demo of Goffin & Titelman’s composition.

Saw them at Milton Keynes, travelled down from Manchester on a coach. Magnapop, Belly and Blur supported. The coach home wasn’t until the next day so we just roughed it. It was warm, it was the summer, R.E.M. were touring for the first time since 1989. Life was good! Great memories!

Neil Young - On The Beach (1974)
For me it’s one of his best albums. It still puzzles me that it was hard to get hold of for so long, it stopped being pressed on vinyl in the 80s and wasn’t released on CD until 2003!
