Favourite Artists Track 431 - Gordon Sharp, nominated by SussexWelsh, Voting

[Spacepig]

To tell the truth, I thought he was a football player from back in the '70's or '80's, turns out he's actually a Scottish singer, musician and producer (according to Wiki). Probably best leave this SW's own words:

'A track, on which he is featured, from any band/collective that he has worked with or in, i.e. Cindytalk/This Mortal Coil/The Freeze/Bambule/After The Flood/solo (if you can find anything'

Then we have these handy links:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindytalk
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fre...

There, you know as much as me now (or probably a lot more), go find a song . As usual, 10 pm Sunday night, provide a link, check back after posting, and if in any doubts, ask SussexWelsh, not me as I have no idea.

Wet and windy here for us this week, but I think the hurricane dude gave us a bit of a wide berth, take care out there.

[Val]

According to Allmusic he is responsible for vocals with Pankow so hope this is okay.

Last Song - Pankow

Hi Val, a good bit of research there (I was unaware of the connection). However, following the information on Allmusic through to Discogs, he only provided vocals on a single track on one of their albums, released in 2005. I have found a link if you wish to nominate it:

An FYI, according to Discogs, Gordon is transgender, and should be referred to as 'she'.

Sometimes goes by the name Cindy, or just as often it appears, Cinder.

Please grant me an hour's grace to nominate on my own thread. I'm currently down in Fowey with Cornish (Graham) and John (Redjohn) and have had one or two too many pints :-b

Hmmm, well, I gave SussexWelsh that extra hour he asked for, went and done a few little tasks, had some coffee, listened to a few CDs, had a toot and staggered off to bed. Then woke up this morning knowing I had to do something but no idea what. Then it struck me as I was working away this morning. So, it's a lunchtime launch this week.

Where did all the voters go? Very disappointingly, a third of our nommers didn't make it back to vote, giving us some very low scores this week.

The winner, with a rather measly 7 points, SussexWelsh takes his own round with Memories Of Skin and Snow. One point behind, a silver for Val with Pankow. And sharing the bronze, Brass Neck and the Duke with Kangaroo and The Doorway To The Sky.

Surely we can get a better response with the next round?

[Lez]

Sorry! No opportunity to listen from my hospital bed. 🤬🥵

[Gordon]

Aaw, Lez. What's going on there? You being pumped full of fluids and metronidazole?
