This is a power ballad. It is one of the most romantic songs that I know of. At the height of Whitney Houston fame, along comes Jennifer Rush, with granted, a one off hit, yet this songstress climbs the heights

I must confess: it was the evil Flapsandwich who put me onto this amazing French Band, Christine and The Queens, a few years ago. I was chuffed when they turned up on the BBC Glastonbury 2023 television footage. I was
Continue readingNeneh Cherry & Youssou N’Dour – 7 Seconds
I mean, what can you say? Neneh Cherry? I can tell you that i stare so longingly sometimes at my original 12 inch version of Neneh Cherry – Buffalo Soldier – It usually just sits right on the outside of
Continue readinga-ha – Take On Me
This a flashback from my early childhood. I had it on 7 inch vinyl. It was a big hit back in the err…. day. I didn’t have MTV, not many did – a satellite dish was well pricey – you
Continue readingRita Ora – Don’t Think Twice
I am a bit slow on the uptake with pop music and it takes me a while to get down with it and discover all these great new pop artists. When I heard that they were interviewing Rita Ora on

Just logged into Caldicot Community Facebook Group to get this ‘suspension’ message – until 18th July apparently – My first ever suspension anywhere on #Facebook in over 15 years – I have had a long running dispute with the group

I am currently in a Chatham House webinar on President Lula in Brazil. I had a little search around and apparently Céu is the Brazilian Taylor Swift so I thought I’d check out some of her music. I like World
Continue readingRöyksopp – This Must Be It
It’s probably quite an old track, now, this one. But to me it’s ‘recent’. I love it. I’m not sure at all how well it did successfully in the charts etc. Röyksopp are a crossover band. I think they are
Continue readingWhitney Houston – I’m Every Woman
I’m not sure if some of my Wez G listeners have noticed the fact that I happen to have a little soft spot for female vocalists? From my earliest days of spinning on the decks in venues, from mainstream teeny-bopper
Continue readingOlivia Rodrigo – Deja Vu
I only ‘discovered’ Olivia Rodrigo yesterday and this was the first track of hers I checked out. I was in London a couple of weeks back and kept having major deja vu experiences, hence this selection. This young lady, a

Poor Madge has been unwell over the past week. God, there have been so many music artists leaving us recently. I would hate to see Madonna disappear. I tweeted her best wishes to GET WELL SOON and said “A World

I’ve decided to set up a new part of the website: Random Songs – which will just be selected Youtube videos of songs, old and new that i think are worthy of sharing with Wez G website users. To get

I am a Swiftie and Love Taylor but there are some things that I just don’t just love but I actually live for. Liverpool Football Club is my life. Nothing matters bar Liverpool really. I mean people speculate that football

I’ve decided to just be upfront and rather than send her a billion tweets a week, declaring my undying love, I’m opening up a section on my wezg.co.uk website devoted to Taylor Swift. I’m going to try my best to

This is not a story of a random Ukrainian musician that I have plucked out of the ether. I’ve been following the progress of the female DJ superstar, Marika Rossa, since 2012, before the crisis in Ukraine started. The internet

I wrote this complaint back in February. Gray Hill Surgery, Caldicot, does not allow email complaints. Their complaints process is so difficult to negotiate. What I did is contact the main local NHS health board and they said that even

It’s not my most favourite organization in the world but I wish the NHS Happy 75th birthday nonetheless. The End Of Terror war has lasted for over a third of the NHS’ entire history (since 02.04.1997). I have very rarely,

This was my first visit to St Pauls Carnival since the COVID-19 epidemic. I got regularly to this Afro-Caribbean street festival, mainly for the authentic jerk chicken, but also it’s a great chance to hear some good music, some proper

Go a phone call late afternoon off my mate Greg to see if I fancied spinning some vinyl up at the Rogiet Rave which is just the next village up from Caldicot. There’s been a few of these go off

Hive Mind Brewery / Wye Valley Meadery is a new venue to me in Caldicot. It is located on the Severnbridge Industrial Estate, not far from the back entrance to Caldicot Castle, near the Mitel Roundabout. It is open as

I got (mis)diagnosed with Schizophrenia on 02.04.1997 and I’ve had 26 years of hell in the mental health system here in South Wales ever since. Initially the psychiatrist said it was ‘mild schizophrenia’ whatever that is. I have had over

Chatham House is the Royal Institute ofInternational Affairs. It is based in St. James’ Square, Mayfair, London, a short walk from Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. I have been a member of Chatham House for several months but with me being based

I have previously read a lot of material on World War 2 codebreakers and the likes of Alan Turing and their critical work against Enigma and the invention of modern computing during that period. Of course, codebreaking and cryptography is

The Cuban Revolution was an earth-shattering event with huge consequences internationally, not just in Latin America, but further afield. I felt the impact myself whilst travelling across Scandinavia in 2005. I’d run out of clean underwear and, while scanning the

I had previously read Alison Weir’s most excellent book specifically on Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine many years ago so the author was familiar to me. I chanced upon this title in my local library (Caldicot) and thought I’d give it

Silvio Berlusconi has died today at the age of 86. It has been said that not a day has gone by in Italian news media over the past 50 years without him making headlines of some sort. He certainly was
