Subject: RE: Obit: Singer Kathy Kirby
For many years outside an old nightclub in Worksop, (I'm talking during the late '70s) there was a poster for a concert she did there in 1970 supported by an "up and coming" magician called Paul Daniels.

I was a volunteer on the local hospital radio at the time and was impressed by how often her songs were requested by patients. She wasn't as well known as her peer group (Lulu, Sandy Shaw, Dusty Springfield etc) but was requested more often. I used to joke that if she had recorded The Old Rugged Cross, we would have had every request ever collected rolled into one....
