Attention please all you 'Catters with vast knowledge of obscure songs. A good friend asked me to try and locate a couple of songs he's been after for ages. I got the first one because he knew the singer and full title. The second one is "Sort of folky by a bloke with a rough sort of voice, I think he's called John Strong and the sing's called "Wanted" or something"
Comprehensive or what ?? HHHHHEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPP. My rep as a songfinder is at stake.

I just hope these few lines will get to her.
Yes ma'am.
She means everything.
I hope she comes back
When she reads these words.

My friend is astonished to find that The Jon Strong Band played, admittedly some years ago, at North Shields. We are after all pretty close here in Aycliffe.
Thanks to Brucie and The Villan in particular and everybody else for replying. ATB for charlie fB
