Weaver"Thinking of you" - The Colour FieldPerformed on a luscious pink stage - it is Valentine's Day, after all. The female co-vocalist is Katrina Phillips, she puts in a more assertive performance, just about stealing the show from Terry Hall.But it's Terry Hall's song, calm and reflective, and hopeful. And yeah, one for my squeeze over the way...<a href="https://mas.to/tags/TOTP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TOTP</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/TheColourfield" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheColourfield</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/TerryHall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TerryHall</a>

Paul DYears ago, I was sitting around a table with James Taylor (of JTQ) and Danny Wilson (of 'The Second Summer of Love') waiting for filming to start on a TV show, when Terry Hall walked in with Dave Stewart. James, Danny & I said to each other how much we admired Terry Hall's work, but felt unable to speak to him. By all accounts, we should have. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ2oXzrnti4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ2oXzrnti4</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/TerryHall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TerryHall</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/RIPTerryHall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RIPTerryHall</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/TheSpecials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheSpecials</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/TheFunBoyThree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheFunBoyThree</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/TheColourfield" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheColourfield</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/RIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RIP</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Music</a>
