Musical Youth...by Wendy Hind.

Music, pop and theater have always played a large role in my life.

I was reminiscing this week on some of the songs which run like water through my life and have punctuated some of the most memorable times.

“My song” at University – ABBA – “Dancing Queen” – ten friends would clear the floor, create a ring and for this song I would be in the middle giving it large and felt so special!

First Kiss – Annie Lennox – “Sweet Dreams are made of these”

First boyfriend – Welsh Male Voice Choir – whatever they sang it was mesmerising

First Break –up Song – “You’ve lost that loving Feeling” – Righteous Brothers

Concerts Attended – Roxette and Madonna

First serious relationship – Hot Chocolate – “You Sexy Thing”

Second Break-up song – Lionel Ritchie Song – “Once, Twice, Three times a Lady”

For my mother – “Memories” – from Cats

For my Father – he won awards for singing - so any a Capella tenor male voice choir

For my sister – “Song of Norway” - she had a lead role in this

My Song now – “This is me” – The Greatest Showman

For energy – “High on Emotion” – Chris De Burgh – sheer drama OTT – Meatloaf and Cher

(Does anyone remember Shakespeare Sisters – Stay? Or Bryan Adams – Everything I do…..)

Before Job Interviews – Adele – “Set fire to the rain” or “Rumour has it”

Best artist – Freddie Mercury without a shadow of a doubt!

Best musicals – “Phantom of the Opera” ALW and “Evita”
