Just heard the news that my old pal from Cola Boy, Andrew Midgely died this week. It was sudden and unexpected. We had a lot of fun together when '7 Ways to Love' became a big overnight hit for us in the UK. Many a long day we spent up and down the UK in vans for club shows and PA's. We fell out of touch after Cola Boy, but I'll always have fond memories of him. Bless you Andrew.

Christmas Eve…7 ways to Love
Just back from a lovely midnight mass service on Christmas night to find the house is quiet, no one is stirring not even a mouse...but I missed my own performance on Top of the Pops 2 and apparantly Wrighty made some comment or other !
If I were technical I'd know how to run the iplayer thingy but hey ho...if you did see it (I'm talking about my number 8 hit from 1991 with Cola boy) you'll have noticed that I was barely moving, let alone shaking my booty, that will be because my retro silver mini dress was so short and tight it would have been indecent. Seems so wierd now remembering those days, we were famous for exactly five minutes and it flew by, at the time I felt quite indignant that I'd got my 'dream' to be a pop star and yet only sang 4 words but its gotta be said the record still sounds great after all these years and its still played at clubs - depressingly I didn't write it, but the boys from St Ettiene still get fat PRS cheques I'm thinking, good on ya Pete and Bob.
