GUEST,Rob the Roadie Songs About Money (145* d) RE: Songs About Money 12 Oct 08


Considring the state of the world of finance..... yes a very apt topic.

Angie Wright wrote "The Cheshire Set" a very funny song about the "Haves and Havenots and wannabees" It was inspired by two seperate incidents one a TV prog in which a woman in an exclusive dress shop in Deepest Cheshire found on the rack a stunning little number which she loved but when she took it to the sales desk she was told it ONLY cost £80.
She protested "surely you are wrong it must be £800."
! NO £80 was the reply.
Well in that case I dont want it! and she walked out.

The other was when Angie was performing with Anne Taggart as TAGGART AND WRIGHT when thy were introduced as "being from Cheshire where they have real fruit on the table" by the MC. This comment then became part of their act and the lyrics to the song.

Angies other song which gets a lot of attention is "CRY OF THE WORLD" a very serious number which is about mans denial about the affect his greed is having on the planet .

Both songs are on Angie second solo CD Captive Heart.
