I'd really love to get hold of a CD of Victoria Wood's songs. I think there is one called "Real Life" but it is no longer available. Has anyone out there got a copy?
A visitor to Gainsborough Folk Club last week sang "Music and Movement" and it went down so well that I'm wondering what else I'm missing!

I think VW was a great writer and singer of comic songs, but she seems better known for her other stuff (stand-up, sitcoms, plays etc.) which of course are very funny too.

I remember seeing her doing a lot of songs on things like That's Life, and her own shows, but did she ever release an album of her songs? The only albums I've seen are stand-up comedy, etc.

Sooz at Work,

I've got a copy of 'Real Life', as all right -thinking persons should.
Send me a PM when you can and we'll see what can be arranged.

I've got a copy myself somewhere. Don't be fooled into thinking that she's just a comedienne - some of her songs are very moving and | had a job getting to the end of some of them without reaching for a hanky!
"dinnerladies" (sic) that she wrote wasn't just for laughs either - wonderful scripting.

Her funny stuff got my reaching for a corset to stop my sides splitting.

Cheers
Mark
