I love the upbeat feel of this song and it's especially good if you are familiar with Winchester - a city I really feel at home in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNHcS0Bic78 - as ever true fans were used to make this video.

someone has posted one of my all time favourites on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeecXiqNzWA

This makes me so homesick and has always made me cry.  It was written by Dan Heymann in Cape Town in the early 80s, a response to the state of emergency under apartheid. The great Vusi Mahlasela said it may well be the best South African song ever written. I saw them perform it live when I was a student in about 1982 I think.

And my brother wrote the words for this Christmas carol. It was written shortly after the end of apartheid,when everyone had such great hope for SA. A good friend of his (professional composer) wrote the music. I love it. I love this homespun Costa Rican choir's version most of all. Watch out for the dude in the hat

Now that would be nice although I have had a drink or two bought for me along the way so that will have to do! A nice present would be a ticket for the Wembly show next year.. maybe my sons are reading this - hint hint!!

Ah Taz, I'm getting an education so thanks! Used to be so easy to keep up but with electronic media and no kids, I've got well left behind 

Song starts 30 secs into the clip. Old and I still find it makes me smile.
