Everything She Wants, not exactly relegated to a double A side, but worthy of an A side itself and probably should have been in my opinion. Not sure why Yog decided upon a double A because I think we missed the chance for two number ones there!

My favourite ‘Last Christmas’ moment this year 😅 On day 6 of my John o’Groats to Land’s End Papyrus cycling fundraiser, we were met by a trio of tykes who bombarded us with every kind of question. One question was met with an answer none of us were quite expecting 😂- Andrew x
The only acceptable use of a Christmas song in July: a clip of George Michael singing Last Christmas to Paula Yates at the Band Aid sessions. 🥲
WHAM! – a new documentary – comes to Netflix this Wednesday

I’m Your Man is probably my favourite WHAM! Track! A cracker to play live and a raucous video, really good fun to do that one at the Marquee club in front of a live audience. Even though it was a playback it was really fun to do
