Upon my return to the forum I give to you Desert Island Discs - The Forum Version.
You get 8 music tracks to select.
One luxury item.
One book.
And one castaway favourite track from the eight you select.
I will set the ball rolling.
Track one: I should be so lucky - Kylie Minogue
Kylie was the crush of my teenage years. I adored her and her music.
This song captured my imagination then just as it does now albeit for a very different set of reasons.
Track two: Barcelona - Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballet
My love affair with the Olympics is well documented.
Freddie Mercury to my mind is the greatest music artist of all time and this collaboration with a quite brilliant Soprano is as awe inspiring as it ever was.
Track three: When I'm cleaning windows - George Formby
Forever a reflection of my daft and mischievous side. Love the ukelele too .
Track four: Read all about it - Emeli Sande
A song that resonates with me more than most. Exposes my every weakness, worry and fear yet at the same time acts as such an inspiration.
The song of ultimate conflict between hope in my heart and pain in my soul.
Absolute musical work of art.
Track five: Earth Song - Michael Jackson
An artist ahead of his time with a series of powerful messages ahead of theirs. For all his own frailties and faults he was a music genius.
Track Six: Fix you - Coldplay
An anthem to the struggles of humanity. I need say no more.
Track Seven: Bring me to life - Katherine Jenkins
Brought me to tears watching her perform this in concert.
Absolutely flawless.
Track Eight: Goldeneye - Tina Turner
Combining two great institutions.
James Bond.
Tina Turner.
Say no more.
Book choice: Long Walk To Freedom - Nelson Mandela.
Luxury item: Full size snooker table, balls, cue and chalk.
Castaway favourite track: Bring me to life - Katherine Jenkins.
