Desert Island Dons - Week 2

In keeping with the past few seasons, in 2019 we will run a new weekly segment on the website. This year the theme is 'Desert Island Discs' in which, for those unfamiliar with the Radio 4 show, a club member suggests the five records, luxury item, book, and personal memento they would keep with them if they found themselves stranded on a desert island.

This week is the turn of Steve Brown.

Your five records and why?

1. I Am... I Said - Neil Diamond

- My favourite track of his even though we all love Sweet Caroline.

2. Lessons in Love - Level 42

- My 80s band..seen them a few times.

3. You'll Never Walk Alone - Gerry Marsden

- Obviously.

4. Mr Blue Sky - ELO

- Just a great track.

5. Teenage Kicks - The Undertones

- Great track and love Fergal Sharkey’s voice.

What would be your luxury item and why?

Would have to be a bottle of expensive Argentinian Malbec...just a great wine.

Your book and why?

Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks or a Jack Reacher novel by Lee Childs.

Your personal memento and why?

My Nan's mint humbug tin…always had a mint when we left her's and I took it as a keepsake.

Thanks for your selections, Brownie. Expect another Don with their selections next Friday afternoon.
