Proving that the CD selection on this blog truly is random, we find ourselves debating John Shuttleworth Live.
As I hope you are aware, John is a versatile singer songwriter from Sheffield, South Yorkshire. He lives with his wife Mary, his son Darren, and his daughter Karen. He's managed by his next door neighbour and sole agent, Ken Worthington.
This live cd features some of his finest songs to date, and some of my personal favourites: Modern Man, Save The Whale (its hump, its fins, its tail), and Shopkeepers in The North, to name but three. John's material focusses mainly on confectionary, shopping, DIY, his Austin Ambassador Y Reg, his family, showbusiness and the environment. John's best tunes often feature the Fun Rhythm, which goes down especially well in old people's homes and hospices.
To give you a feel for the treats in store, here's John with an early classic, Incident On The Snake Pass.
