The first songs I remember hearing
Bowie, Steely Dan and Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles were the stuff my parents played when I was little. I was born in 1973, so it was a good time for music. I’ve still got all my mum and dad’s vinyl.

The first single I bought
Either Pass the Dutchie by Musical Youth or Mickey by Toni Basil, from Woolworths in Greenford Broadway in west London, with my pocket money. I’ve still got all my singles in their original covers.
