This is an example of an inheritance track, inherited from my dad who was a big fan. It is also one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar and sang at family parties where everyone would pass the guitar around. When I hear it, it reminds me of my dad singing it.
We used to drive to Spain with a caravan for our family holidays. One of the only CDs in the car was Abba Gold. I know near enough every word to every song and when I hear it, it takes me straight back to being crammed in the car with my brothers and sisters in 30-degree heat.
I have been a fan of this band for years and I’ve been lucky enough to get to open for them at many shows over the years. This song takes be back to touring with them in Europe, this is something I will never forget. Despite how sad the music can be, it makes me incredibly happy and reminds me of that experience.
I wish my first ever live concert was something a bit ‘cooler’, but in truth, I wouldn’t change it. I was very young but remember so much about that whole day being taken to the SECC by my sisters who had a spare ticket to see Boyzone. This was my first experience of live music. I’ve sadly not incorporated the dances moves into my own live performances… yet.
Another inherited song, this time from my partner. This is one of her favourites and brings back a lot of memories from first meeting.
