A Touch of Pink

13 Jan 2015

Show 494 / 17 January 2015

Welcome to A Touch Of Pink, your home for all that is fun and a little bit gay in the world of trash pop music. More gays tonight including Jimmy Somerville, Sam Smith and DragPalace, plus an amazing Dragon cover from Kimberley Davis, the Nick Jonas song before Jealous, and another UK girl who is destined for her 15 minutes of fame, Florrie.

My Single Of The Week is ‘Speak no evil’ by Kimberley Davis. Kimberley is an American lady with a diva-type voice doing a cover of the New Zealand band Dragon’s hit from 1985. Her version captures the rock and dance nature of the song, and the video is worth a view or 2 (see below).

Here follows tonight’s playlist. Tune in this Saturday on JOY 94.9 from 6-7pm for a bakers dozen of fab-u-lous tracks. Your host is Dick.

What have I seen lately?

FILM: Into The Woods : Yes, the Stephen Sondheim musical, with an amazing cast (google it) and they all used their own voices. Now, is it a musical, an opera or somewhere inbetween? Probably the latter, but it is also quite a dark piece, as it is based on some fairy tales, that are quite dark in tone. So, apart from a few laughs (just a few), this is more dark than light, and it’s probably not for everyone. Still, these productions tend to find their own market, and the only people that walked out (about ¾ through) were 3 young girls sitting next to me who ate, talked and texted their way through. I was happy to see them leave so I could concentrate on enjoying myself. I did shush them but it made little difference. Kids today, eh?
