Wings of a Dove by Madness?

For some reason I was thinking of something with a loud beat, like dance music maybe.

Same with all the Christmas number 1 pop videos.
Everyone is wrapped up in jumpers and scarves in a heatwave.

What next? Jules Holland isn't really a charismatic cheeky musician but a bit of a smarmy git?

I don't know what the big deal is with Jules Holland. He's not even a multi instrumentalist.

The attraction isn't Jules, it is his guests.

I share your misgivings about his actual talent. But.

He’s filling a fairly niche role that requires someone with enough credibility to attract the performers but not too much star power to over shadow them. A big star wouldn’t be bothered to do what he does.

He also has decades of TV presenting experience and seems like a good raconteur. So is a safe pair of hands.

Jules Holland's band was hired for the Southampton uni graduation ball down in Portsmouth in summer '95, supposedly it used up a vast majority of the ball budget.

I was horrified when I read that the his New Year tv show was recorded in the summer.

Only recently found out he was in the group Squeeze... I live a sheltered life!

Up The Junction, the track of a lot of people's lives I would guess. Difford and Tilbrook were quite imaginative songwriters.

It’s not recorded in the summer, it’s usually mid December.

He wasn’t in Squeeze for very long.

We older forum members - yes. Not so with the youngsters, as I discovered...

I embarrassed myself on my Yorkshire Dales forum ride from Settle. I was riding along with a CycleChat member who I had met for the first time that morning. We had just entered a little village and I saw that it was called Clapham. I turned to face the other rider, smiled, and burst into song ...

ColinJ: "I never thought it could happen, with me and a girl from Clapham, out on the windy common, that night I aint forgotten."

Other Rider, looking startled: "Sorry?"

CJ, cheerfully: "Squeeze!"

OR: "Huh?"

CJ, faltering: "Up the Junction?"

OR, now looking worried about riding with me: "Eh?"

CJ, going red, feeling foolish: "Never mind, you are probably too young to remember 70s chart hits!"
