I love 00:01:58.540 --> 00:02:00.859 the single track. We were giving it some airplay 00:02:00.859 --> 00:02:03.640 and we had it in our Hit and Miss competition 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.459 on Radio North Sea International. It was recently 00:02:05.459 --> 00:02:07.959 a Sunday where people... where people could vote 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:09.400 if they thought it was going to be hit or not 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.620 and they make comments on it and yeah pretty 00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:13.379 much favorable actually and they're looking forward 00:02:13.379 --> 00:02:16.099 to the album so I have been giving it airplay 00:02:16.099 --> 00:02:19.740 on the live shows as well but yeah so it's a 00:02:19.740 --> 00:02:21.979 great opportunity to meet you and to have a chat 00:02:21.979 --> 00:02:24.439 you know about your new stuff what you're doing 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.500 now but to put you in the picture now I was uh 00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:31.139 see first the earliest I'm aware of you was a 00:02:31.139 --> 00:02:34.939 duet with your your sister and uh that's Sue 00:02:34.939 --> 00:02:37.840 and Sonny and then both members and that was 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.099 from the late 60s into the early 70s and you 00:02:41.099 --> 00:02:44.680 were both members of the original line -up of 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.580 the Brotherhood of Man and of course you had 00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:50.080 the most massive hits with United We Stand and 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.000 big hits in America as well 1970 follow -up Where 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.979 Are You Going To My Love top 30 hit and you just 00:02:58.979 --> 00:03:01.840 I can see here just missed the top 50 of top 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.520 50 in those days you literally just missed it 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.439 by the narrow margins with California Sunday 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.340 Morning which just fell short at number 54 they 00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:14.409 allowed me to sing that song so I was very honoured. 00:03:15.030 --> 00:03:18.789 Lovely. United We Stand though I think is coming 00:03:18.789 --> 00:03:20.889 to its own in more recent times especially with 00:03:20.889 --> 00:03:22.909 things that's going on in the world it's getting 00:03:22.909 --> 00:03:25.590 a lot of requests these days and I think people 00:03:25.590 --> 00:03:27.849 are looking upon it as a peace anthem rather 00:03:27.849 --> 00:03:30.629 than the sort of a love type song it's looked 00:03:30.629 --> 00:03:33.949 upon as a peace anthem these days. I can imagine. 00:03:34.330 --> 00:03:38.210 Which is great you know 56 years on and fantastically 00:03:38.210 --> 00:03:41.509 it's got that second life for that reason so 00:03:41.509 --> 00:03:45.370 great. Great. Now I'd like you to tell our listeners 00:03:45.370 --> 00:03:47.969 as well because you've done an incredible amount 00:03:47.969 --> 00:03:50.289 of backing. You've done a lot of studio work. 00:03:50.469 --> 00:03:51.990 Do you want to tell us about some of the people 00:03:51.990 --> 00:03:55.729 that you've recorded with? Well, there's quite 00:03:55.729 --> 00:04:00.270 a few. Yes. Yeah, I have to sort of rack my brain. 00:04:01.629 --> 00:04:03.710 I think you've done stuff with Elton John, haven't 00:04:03.710 --> 00:04:07.330 you? Well, there's Brotherhood Man, Elton John. 00:04:07.530 --> 00:04:11.550 We did two albums with Elton John. Lovely guy. 00:04:11.789 --> 00:04:15.770 I knew him well. He was a session singer. Did 00:04:15.770 --> 00:04:18.589 you know that? Did you know that, Nick? Well, 00:04:18.610 --> 00:04:21.910 he was. He was a session singer. And we'd meet 00:04:21.910 --> 00:04:24.910 in the studio some mornings. We'd meet, you know, 00:04:24.970 --> 00:04:28.629 and one morning it was about a 10 o 'clock session 00:04:28.629 --> 00:04:31.709 and I got there about 10 to 10 and he got there 00:04:31.709 --> 00:04:36.149 about five to 10. And so I read, you know, blah, 00:04:36.230 --> 00:04:39.189 blah. And the first thing he always used to do 00:04:39.189 --> 00:04:42.470 is head for the piano. No matter where we were, 00:04:42.589 --> 00:04:45.769 if there was a piano, he'd head for it and play 00:04:45.769 --> 00:04:47.990 what he was about to write or what he'd just 00:04:47.990 --> 00:04:51.990 written. And so I was standing there and we had 00:04:51.990 --> 00:04:55.149 about five or four minutes to go before the session 00:04:55.149 --> 00:04:58.129 started. And I said, so what you do? What's your 00:04:58.129 --> 00:05:00.029 song? What's your latest song? And he said, I've 00:05:00.029 --> 00:05:02.589 just written this song. I said, can I hear it? 00:05:02.589 --> 00:05:05.589 He said, yep. So he played it. And you know, 00:05:05.689 --> 00:05:08.670 that's the very first song I heard that he'd 00:05:08.670 --> 00:05:12.060 written. and it was called Son of My Father. 00:05:12.339 --> 00:05:15.019 Beautiful. Do you remember that song? I do. I 00:05:15.019 --> 00:05:16.980 know the song you mean. Yes, absolutely. And 00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:19.540 that was the very first song I ever heard. I 00:05:19.540 --> 00:05:22.040 was in the studio at Phillips Studio that day 00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:26.480 and I said, you know, one day everybody's going 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:30.000 to want to record your songs. You're such a fantastic 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.079 songwriter. I didn't know that it wouldn't be 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:37.519 long after he'd become like a legend. Do you 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.740 know? Because the songs he turned out were just 00:05:40.740 --> 00:05:43.939 out of this world. Yeah, and he also made the 00:05:43.939 --> 00:05:49.920 piano quite trendy. Yes, he did. Wonderful. And 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.360 the thing is that he was a very accomplished 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:56.519 musician. He really was very accomplished on 00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:01.019 the keyboards. He was. Yeah, I did about a couple 00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:04.800 of albums with him. Yes, your song Tiny Dancer, 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.379 I believe. You did some Mock the Hoop, All the 00:06:08.379 --> 00:06:15.579 Young Dudes, T -Rex. I did seven tracks for T 00:06:15.579 --> 00:06:19.300 -Rex. Donna, so much hot stuff on the radio. 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.879 Tom Jones, she's a lady. So don't set yourself 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.079 short. There's some amazing stuff there. So yeah, 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.399 and we're just skimming the surface there. So 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.639 what a great career. So fantastic. It was a wonderful 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.540 career, something that I loved. I loved singing. 00:06:33.339 --> 00:06:36.000 I loved performing with the artists. You know, 00:06:36.019 --> 00:06:40.120 it was great. And the chance we had doing all 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.379 that. Duets with David Jones, I see, things like 00:06:43.379 --> 00:06:46.600 that. Yes. Wonderful. And he turned up at my 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:51.120 house. Well, he turned up at my house. My friend 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.839 phoned me from Paris, well, from France, and 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.199 said, can I bring a friend over because he wants 00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.100 to fish? And I lived by the river. So I said, 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.040 yeah, sure, bring him over. And so he brought 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:07.569 this... young man bounced into my kitchen and 00:07:07.569 --> 00:07:10.689 it was David Jones. Oh, wonderful. And I couldn't 00:07:10.689 --> 00:07:13.250 believe it because I'd always admired him on 00:07:13.250 --> 00:07:15.810 that Monkeys program. Yes, it was fantastic. 00:07:16.129 --> 00:07:18.329 I wish you watched it, it was so great, you know, 00:07:18.589 --> 00:07:22.689 but he was so effervescent, he was so upright, 00:07:23.050 --> 00:07:25.889 you know, it caused us having brightness in the 00:07:25.889 --> 00:07:28.750 house, you know. Yeah, I had the pleasure of 00:07:28.750 --> 00:07:30.730 meeting him. And yes, yeah, absolutely. And he 00:07:30.730 --> 00:07:34.279 said, He said, even when the light in the fridge 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:35.899 comes open, when you open the door, he has to 00:07:35.899 --> 00:07:41.439 do five minutes. That's difficult, that's difficult. 00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:47.000 Anyway, this new album, a new single, very exciting. 00:07:48.259 --> 00:07:50.560 Now somebody told me, this is the listener actually, 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:56.300 told me that the actual title track... they'd 00:07:56.300 --> 00:07:58.819 been waiting for it for a very long time from 00:07:58.819 --> 00:08:02.040 you. Was this planned some years ago, the actual 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.899 title track? Yes, it was. It was planned a long 00:08:04.899 --> 00:08:08.439 time ago. The record company were going to release 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.699 this song, you know, the title track from me, 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:16.259 and the same week or the same day they were going 00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:19.819 to release it, Universal Records took over the 00:08:19.819 --> 00:08:23.920 company and shelved all their releases, shelved 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.420 them. All of us were shelved. including that 00:08:26.420 --> 00:08:31.779 song. I took the song and hid it up in my cupboard 00:08:31.779 --> 00:08:36.179 and I thought one day I might bring this song 00:08:36.179 --> 00:08:39.659 out. One day if I get the chance I'm going to 00:08:39.659 --> 00:08:42.039 record this song. Well I recorded it already 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:46.299 because it was ready to be released and anyway 00:08:46.299 --> 00:08:49.820 this opportunity came and so I brought it out 00:08:49.820 --> 00:08:52.379 and the strings aren't the strings magnificent 00:08:52.379 --> 00:08:55.580 on it? Absolutely beautiful. That's Chris Gunning 00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:58.299 again, you know, he and his strings are beautiful. 00:08:58.899 --> 00:09:02.259 And the vocals at the beginning and the vocals 00:09:02.259 --> 00:09:06.840 with no instrumental at all, just your pure natural 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:10.240 vocals, beautiful. Beautiful. And yeah, so when 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:14.759 you hear from, so the guy's totally right and 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.279 said, yeah, I've been waiting for this for over 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:21.419 50 years. It's going to be so well worth waiting 00:09:21.419 --> 00:09:25.059 for. Oh, isn't that lovely? It's very nice. They've 00:09:25.059 --> 00:09:28.120 been writing to me about it. So, of course, the 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.379 album is for no reason at all as to is the title 00:09:31.379 --> 00:09:35.559 track. Yes. And it sounds beautiful, obviously 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.259 they're going to be hearing that. Now, tell us 00:09:37.259 --> 00:09:41.240 about some of the other tracks on there. So there's 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:45.039 20 tracks altogether, an incredible album. It's 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:47.200 almost, jokingly, but it's almost an anthology, 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.720 but not quite. So tell us about some of the other 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.240 tracks. Why have you actually specifically chosen 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:58.240 them for now? Well, I was very fine with Tony 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:02.940 Waddington. I used to go and do demos for him. 00:10:03.899 --> 00:10:07.299 And he had a lot of success. He had a lot of 00:10:07.299 --> 00:10:10.740 number one records. He wrote Sugar Baby Love 00:10:10.740 --> 00:10:13.960 and all those sort of, you know, different songs. 00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:17.840 And so I used to go, he had a little house in 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:21.399 Hampshire and he set up a little studio there. 00:10:21.419 --> 00:10:23.960 So I used to go and record demos for him there. 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:27.360 And then he started and he and I started writing 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.340 a few songs together. And some of his other songs 00:10:31.340 --> 00:10:34.610 were so nice. that I did the singing on, I did 00:10:34.610 --> 00:10:37.190 his demos, and I liked the song. So I said, do 00:10:37.190 --> 00:10:40.269 you mind if I hang on to this and one day I might 00:10:40.269 --> 00:10:42.750 release it? He said, oh, yeah, yeah. And I said, 00:10:42.850 --> 00:10:45.690 yeah, one day I might just do that. So I proved 00:10:45.690 --> 00:10:47.870 him wrong. I have done that. And a couple of 00:10:47.870 --> 00:10:51.190 songs on the album written by him, which is nice, 00:10:51.250 --> 00:10:54.070 and a couple of written between him and myself. 00:10:54.230 --> 00:10:57.929 So that's quite nice. So I helped him out and 00:10:57.929 --> 00:11:02.799 I kept my word. That was important. That's brilliant. 00:11:03.500 --> 00:11:07.620 We'll survive with Bob Sager's on there. Nick 00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:09.679 and Sue. Supporting the show means supporting 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.740 the brands that keep the lights on and today 00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:13.620 I'm thrilled to talk about a personal favorite 00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:16.950 of mine, Old Glory. Old Glory is the ultimate 00:11:16.950 --> 00:11:19.450 destination for music, sports and pop culture 00:11:19.450 --> 00:11:21.929 fans. They are a family owned business founded 00:11:21.929 --> 00:11:25.710 back in 1969. Now Old Glory and I actually share 00:11:25.710 --> 00:11:28.129 a birth year and while I'll be the first to admit 00:11:28.129 --> 00:11:31.149 their vintage tees have aged a little more gracefully 00:11:31.149 --> 00:11:33.629 than I have, that's exactly why I love them. 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.360 With over 300 ,000 officially licensed items, 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.720 we aren't just talking about generic prints. 00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:42.600 From the heavy hitters like the Beatles, Metallica 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:45.120 and the Rolling Stones, to official NASA gear, 00:11:45.460 --> 00:11:48.340 they cover every corner of fandom. Most importantly, 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.940 the quality is top -tier. There aren't one -and 00:11:51.940 --> 00:11:55.019 -done shirts. They hold their shape and the color 00:11:55.019 --> 00:11:58.299 wash after wash.

I wrote them in to do 00:13:09.570 --> 00:13:12.169 all the backings for Davey. Whilst he was in 00:13:12.169 --> 00:13:14.529 my house, I said, you need backings on this song. 00:13:14.870 --> 00:13:17.370 So I called Tony Burrows. I got my sister together 00:13:17.370 --> 00:13:20.389 myself. And then we went and we did all the backings 00:13:20.389 --> 00:13:22.730 for Davey's song. He said, oh, I love it. I love 00:13:22.730 --> 00:13:27.210 it. So it's like Davey Jones with the Brotherhood 00:13:27.210 --> 00:13:31.309 of Man. Brilliant. Absolutely. Who'd have thought? 00:13:33.029 --> 00:13:36.350 Does your sister still do anything at all? At 00:13:36.350 --> 00:13:38.870 the moment, no, she's retired and she's writing 00:13:38.870 --> 00:13:41.870 a lot. She wants to write. You see, we had such 00:13:41.870 --> 00:13:45.490 a heavy time in the music business because we 00:13:45.490 --> 00:13:50.370 were working flat out, ten to one, two to five, 00:13:50.429 --> 00:13:53.870 seven to ten. For many years as well. And then 00:13:53.870 --> 00:13:57.450 starting on the French songs in the evening, 00:13:57.669 --> 00:14:00.990 like with Sarone and Roussos and people like 00:14:00.990 --> 00:14:04.769 that. So we never stopped. And it got to a point 00:14:04.769 --> 00:14:07.679 where we were living in each other's lives, you 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.220 know? Yeah, sure. Both realise this is too much 00:14:11.220 --> 00:14:14.039 for us. We're living in each other's lives. So 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:16.480 she wanted to do her own thing and I wanted to 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.240 do my own thing. So that's what happened, you 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:22.120 know? No, I understand, I understand. I wasn't 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.559 technically fishing as such, but one thing is 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.899 that I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't ask 00:14:27.899 --> 00:14:31.139 this question. And you probably asked it so many 00:14:31.139 --> 00:14:33.279 times over the years, but there's bound to be 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:37.750 people at home wondering Would we ever hear anything 00:14:37.750 --> 00:14:42.370 else perhaps from Sue and Sunny? Could there 00:14:42.370 --> 00:14:44.710 ever be another project or is there any material 00:14:44.710 --> 00:14:51.950 set around? We have a lot of material. Could 00:14:51.950 --> 00:14:54.190 we perhaps see some of it released at some point? 00:14:55.870 --> 00:14:59.970 Not sure. Okay, I won't do my job if I didn't 00:14:59.970 --> 00:15:05.149 ask and I want to know. You guys were certainly 00:15:05.149 --> 00:15:08.090 very good, not only in that line -up, but you're 00:15:08.090 --> 00:15:11.289 just naturals. I think because we're sisters, 00:15:12.210 --> 00:15:15.409 we blend, our voices blended very, very much. 00:15:15.830 --> 00:15:19.789 And so once you've got the two in a triad, the 00:15:19.789 --> 00:15:23.529 third girl could be either the top voice or the 00:15:23.529 --> 00:15:26.529 bottom voice, but normally I did top, my sister 00:15:26.529 --> 00:15:31.389 did middle, so we had that sound, and then whoever's 00:15:31.389 --> 00:15:35.620 third voice would go on the bottom or top. Well 00:15:35.620 --> 00:15:37.940 that's sort of like a little dream away then, 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:42.240 that's fine, but I'd have to ask that. I wouldn't 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.659 be doing my job if I didn't and I wanted to know 00:15:44.659 --> 00:15:47.620 as I said. Let's talk about some of the other 00:15:47.620 --> 00:15:51.679 tracks on this album Sue. Taking the title track 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:53.259 aside now because obviously that's getting a 00:15:53.259 --> 00:15:56.309 lot of chat, a lot of radio play. Let's talk 00:15:56.309 --> 00:15:57.889 about some of the others here, some of the other 00:15:57.889 --> 00:16:01.429 solo tracks that you got here. What stands out 00:16:01.429 --> 00:16:03.669 for you? Why have you chosen some of them? What 00:16:03.669 --> 00:16:08.769 has particular meaning for you? I think the writers, 00:16:09.409 --> 00:16:15.009 really, is a song that Roger Webb wrote, which 00:16:15.009 --> 00:16:19.769 I think should be on the stage. I did the demo 00:16:19.769 --> 00:16:23.980 for it, and he would decide... what song I would 00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:26.120 sing when I'd turn up at 10 o 'clock in the morning 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.200 to do his demos. And so if I was rather quiet, 00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:33.840 he'd give me like quieter barrows. And if I was 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.820 up, it would be jolly and happy, you know? So 00:16:36.820 --> 00:16:39.419 he gave me this song, which I personally think 00:16:39.419 --> 00:16:41.879 should be on, someone should record and put it 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.100 on the stage. It's just beautiful. It's called 00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:46.500 Right To Be Wrong. That is a beautiful song. 00:16:47.620 --> 00:16:51.159 Another song which was really nice was I think 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:56.649 the song that David Mendel, he was, David Mendel 00:16:56.649 --> 00:17:01.250 was, he used to do a lot of, what's the word, 00:17:03.210 --> 00:17:07.980 you know, for radio. It was always... Like the 00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:12.500 jingle queen. He was like a jingle king. And 00:17:12.500 --> 00:17:15.319 he used to write the most amazing sort of jingles. 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:19.200 And Bob Saker used to sing a lot of amazing jingles. 00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:22.240 In fact, David Mindell used to get me and Bob 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:25.380 and Tony Burroughs and other people, Stephanie 00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:30.140 DeSikes. We were all part singing the jingles. 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:35.019 And he asked me to do a duet with Bob Saker. 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:40.480 called We Have Survived. It's a really nice song 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:43.539 that he wrote. He fell off the chair when I said 00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:46.839 I wanted to put it on my album. He said, I can't 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.240 believe it. I said, yeah, I've always liked it. 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:53.380 So that was nice. How long ago was it when you 00:17:53.380 --> 00:17:58.019 last brought material out, Sue? I don't know. 00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:02.980 74 something, I don't know. I haven't got a clue. 00:18:03.490 --> 00:18:05.170 Was it something that, because you've obviously 00:18:05.170 --> 00:18:07.690 had this material sat around, and I dare say, 00:18:07.690 --> 00:18:10.630 you know, it was very, really probably knocked 00:18:10.630 --> 00:18:12.210 you for six because it probably hurt you quite 00:18:12.210 --> 00:18:15.049 a lot when the Universal took over and that decision 00:18:15.049 --> 00:18:17.029 was made to shelve and it probably did knock 00:18:17.029 --> 00:18:22.730 the wind out of you, I expect. So, did you always 00:18:22.730 --> 00:18:26.569 intend, say, from that era onwards, did you always 00:18:26.569 --> 00:18:28.269 intend to bring this material out, or was it 00:18:28.269 --> 00:18:31.400 just something... that you thought on in more 00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:33.240 recent years. I've got this beautiful material 00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:34.779 I really want to share it with people. Is it 00:18:34.779 --> 00:18:37.160 something more recent or what is the intention? 00:18:37.940 --> 00:18:41.700 No, it was more recent because I felt right. 00:18:42.539 --> 00:18:46.420 I don't want to be out of the music business 00:18:46.420 --> 00:18:48.400 because I love the music business regardless. 00:18:48.700 --> 00:18:51.140 But don't forget we spent many years touring 00:18:51.140 --> 00:18:55.750 as well. We joined the James Last Orchestra and 00:18:55.750 --> 00:18:58.890 we toured the world with him for 12 years. 12 00:18:58.890 --> 00:19:00.990 years of our life we were touring with James 00:19:00.990 --> 00:19:03.589 Glass and bringing out the non -stop dancing 00:19:03.589 --> 00:19:08.289 albums all of which went to gold you know so 00:19:08.289 --> 00:19:11.589 we had a lovely life there as well then we come 00:19:11.589 --> 00:19:15.190 back to England and do sessions or tv shows like 00:19:15.190 --> 00:19:19.029 with Ross Abbott or Silla Black or you know that's 00:19:19.029 --> 00:19:23.410 what our work was you know we never stopped working. 00:19:23.589 --> 00:19:26.210 No matter where we were, we'd come back to England 00:19:26.210 --> 00:19:30.710 and carry on what we were doing here. You mentioned 00:19:30.710 --> 00:19:32.930 that Sonny was writing. Now, how about you? What 00:19:32.930 --> 00:19:37.849 about you? That's a wonderful career, wonderful 00:19:37.849 --> 00:19:43.589 life. So what about an autobiography or something 00:19:43.589 --> 00:19:45.230 like that? Something about your story? Because 00:19:45.230 --> 00:19:47.970 it's an incredible story. Well, you never say 00:19:47.970 --> 00:19:54.089 never. You know, the thoughts are there. You 00:19:54.089 --> 00:19:58.170 put it in my mind just now, so that's what you 00:19:58.170 --> 00:20:05.150 say. That could be our next chat, you see. Blame 00:20:05.150 --> 00:20:08.130 yourself then for that. Wonderful interview, 00:20:08.289 --> 00:20:09.970 asking you for a few stories and things like 00:20:09.970 --> 00:20:13.390 that. We could be here all day talking about 00:20:13.390 --> 00:20:16.069 anecdotes and things from your career and your 00:20:16.069 --> 00:20:19.490 life. It'd be amazing. Hopefully we'll see it 00:20:19.490 --> 00:20:21.529 soon because it'd be an incredible story. It 00:20:21.529 --> 00:20:24.910 really would. But I'm not going to leave it just 00:20:24.910 --> 00:20:28.230 there quite yet because I mean there's a whole 00:20:28.230 --> 00:20:30.089 20 songs we could talk about each so you know 00:20:30.089 --> 00:20:32.930 it's just just incredible stuff there so maybe 00:20:32.930 --> 00:20:34.609 another chat another time perhaps we'll have 00:20:34.609 --> 00:20:36.430 a chat about how well it's doing and things like 00:20:36.430 --> 00:20:39.049 that. Or maybe I can bring out a deluxe edition 00:20:39.049 --> 00:20:41.109 with a few bonus tracks or something maybe that 00:20:41.109 --> 00:20:43.589 would be what it would be. Or you're going to 00:20:43.589 --> 00:20:45.430 bring it out on vinyl or something's going to 00:20:45.430 --> 00:20:48.230 happen. I think if it did well Nick I think if 00:20:48.230 --> 00:20:50.930 it did really well it would come out on vinyl. 00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:52.539 That'd be wonderful, wouldn't it? You know what 00:20:52.539 --> 00:20:55.700 I mean? So, let's wait and see what happens. 00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.440 Yes. Now, I know this is only just coming out, 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:05.680 but I have to ask, what's next for Sue Glover? 00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:07.819 Is there more material sitting there that sells 00:21:07.819 --> 00:21:09.819 well? Do you know what your next move is yet, 00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:11.180 or are you just going to sit back and see? No, 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:13.400 I haven't even thought about it, because this 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:16.900 was such a whirlwind for me. You know, I put 00:21:16.900 --> 00:21:20.099 a few tracks down, remastered them. Then this 00:21:20.099 --> 00:21:23.720 record company, Glenn from 7A Records heard it 00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:27.019 and he said, I love it. I really love what you've 00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:30.920 done. And I said, oh, wow. And he said, I'd like 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:34.759 to put it out. And he's been marvelous, actually. 00:21:34.940 --> 00:21:37.720 I've been very, very happy with this record company 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.119 and his record company. He drives it. He drives 00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:43.480 everything in there, which is lovely. He even 00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:47.640 made a video to surprise me with it. And I didn't 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:50.619 even know there was a video being made. He just 00:21:50.619 --> 00:21:52.980 made this lovely video which really surprised 00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:57.009 me. It was beautiful. Oh, for no reason at all. 00:21:58.150 --> 00:22:00.710 I've seen it on YouTube. And if you haven't read 00:22:00.710 --> 00:22:02.630 them yet, do read the comments. There's some 00:22:02.630 --> 00:22:04.089 wonderful comments that people are leaving there 00:22:04.089 --> 00:22:07.890 about it. So do take a look. But yeah, just read 00:22:07.890 --> 00:22:09.849 the comments underneath. And I was reading them 00:22:09.849 --> 00:22:11.609 the other day and thought, oh, that's delightful. 00:22:12.289 --> 00:22:13.970 And there's a gentleman there who's been waiting, 00:22:14.430 --> 00:22:16.049 you know, been looking forward to the release 00:22:16.049 --> 00:22:19.210 as well for so many years. And I think it's so 00:22:19.210 --> 00:22:21.289 wonderful. And it's not actually the gentleman, 00:22:21.289 --> 00:22:23.250 I'm sure it's not the gentleman that contacted 00:22:23.250 --> 00:22:25.339 me. So even more wonderful, you've had a lot 00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:27.519 of people aware that this was going to come out 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:29.480 to your fans at the time. Oh, isn't that nice 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:32.619 as well? So there you go. Oh, thank you. Well, 00:22:32.619 --> 00:22:34.859 I've done something right then, have no, Nick. 00:22:35.130 --> 00:22:41.509 I'm sure you've never done it too long. We will 00:22:41.509 --> 00:22:44.950 sit back and wait for your next move when you 00:22:44.950 --> 00:22:47.470 know what it is and it'd be nice to have another 00:22:47.470 --> 00:22:50.130 chat. It's been great meeting you at last. I 00:22:50.130 --> 00:22:51.589 mean I've been aware of you all this time and 00:22:51.589 --> 00:22:53.410 you said you'd heard my name so being aware of 00:22:53.410 --> 00:22:55.670 each other it's just that our paths haven't managed 00:22:55.670 --> 00:23:01.779 to cross until now. What's it like, though, to 00:23:01.779 --> 00:23:04.940 have people such as myself and on the radio stations 00:23:04.940 --> 00:23:09.579 and shows, what's it like, say, in 2026, people 00:23:09.579 --> 00:23:12.319 having interest and wanting to interview? What's 00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:13.920 it feel like? Is it surreal? Did you ever think 00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:15.339 it was going to happen? No, I feel very humble, 00:23:15.500 --> 00:23:18.779 actually. Oh, bless you. Bless you. I feel very 00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:23.059 humble that you want to talk to me about it and 00:23:23.059 --> 00:23:25.400 you want to play it. I mean, that, to me, is 00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.400 wonderful. Thank you. Well, at the end of the 00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:29.579 day, it's a great career. You had those hits. 00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:31.480 But it's not only about that. It's the point 00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:33.440 is you're doing something new. This is the next 00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.900 chapter in your career, in your life. So it is 00:23:36.900 --> 00:23:40.299 an exciting time for us as well. If you see it 00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:42.240 from that point of view, we got somebody who's 00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:45.160 having hits in 1970 and bringing stuff out there, 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.619 had that wonderful career after that, but also 00:23:48.619 --> 00:23:50.720 bringing something new out for us to talk about. 00:23:51.549 --> 00:23:53.329 That's a fantastic chapter. It's good for us. 00:23:53.410 --> 00:23:56.609 It's a great interview for us though. It's good 00:23:56.609 --> 00:24:01.589 all around. All I can say is thank you very, 00:24:01.589 --> 00:24:05.420 very much. It's a pleasure. Thank you. As I say, 00:24:05.579 --> 00:24:08.920 it's great meeting you. Is there any social media? 00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:11.220 Do you have social media where people could take 00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:17.500 a look and find out more about you? I know Sue 00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:20.019 and Sunny have got a Wikipedia entry. There's 00:24:20.019 --> 00:24:23.099 a bit about you guys on there. But is there social 00:24:23.099 --> 00:24:26.500 media at all? No, I think that that has been 00:24:26.500 --> 00:24:30.119 controlled by 7A Records. There was a lot of... 00:24:30.109 --> 00:24:33.369 Lots of social media things, you know, but don't 00:24:33.369 --> 00:24:39.190 forget, I'm very old fashioned and I'm not today's 00:24:39.190 --> 00:24:42.650 how they do it today because it's always surprised 00:24:42.650 --> 00:24:45.990 to me because I'm so old fashioned. Everything 00:24:45.990 --> 00:24:50.109 in my mind is like what I did in the 70s and 00:24:50.109 --> 00:24:54.450 80s. You know, so it's all new. This is a whole 00:24:54.450 --> 00:24:58.619 new way of releasing records. I've never heard 00:24:58.619 --> 00:25:01.819 of platforms before, you know, and all of a sudden 00:25:01.819 --> 00:25:05.039 everything's on a platform. I mean it's bizarre, 00:25:05.660 --> 00:25:08.740 but anyway it's great, it's exciting. We have 00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:12.089 to move on, don't we? Yes, and people like you 00:25:12.089 --> 00:25:16.269 and I, you can chat to presenters such as myself 00:25:16.269 --> 00:25:18.230 from the comfort of your own home. I can do the 00:25:18.230 --> 00:25:20.109 comfort of my own. Who thought that, I mean, 00:25:20.269 --> 00:25:21.450 that would have been, you would have been on 00:25:21.450 --> 00:25:24.049 the road two, three weeks going round and round 00:25:24.049 --> 00:25:26.569 the country to various radio stations. I've done 00:25:26.569 --> 00:25:29.269 that before, actually. I did that before. It 00:25:29.269 --> 00:25:30.930 was my day they were doing it. You know, that's 00:25:30.930 --> 00:25:33.369 what had to be done. Yeah, seriously. But some 00:25:33.369 --> 00:25:36.890 of the social media I'm into, but some of it... 00:25:36.990 --> 00:25:39.109 TikTok are things I should never be into. That's 00:25:39.109 --> 00:25:41.890 too young for... No, some of it's absolutely 00:25:41.890 --> 00:25:46.329 beyond me anyway, so don't worry about it. So 00:25:46.329 --> 00:25:49.470 we have the single, For No Reason At All, also 00:25:49.470 --> 00:25:52.630 the title track of your beautiful album, and 00:25:52.630 --> 00:25:56.990 released on 7A Records. Sue Glover, we wish you 00:25:56.990 --> 00:25:59.549 every success with that. And thank you so much 00:25:59.549 --> 00:26:02.970 for coming on Chatterbox. No, no. Thank you, 00:26:02.990 --> 00:26:06.640 Nick, for having me here. Thank you. I have appreciated 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:09.740 it. I've enjoyed every minute of it, actually. 00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:13.380 Likewise. Likewise. Let's hope we can do it again 00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:15.400 sometime. All right. That'd be lovely. Thank 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:19.279 you. Keep thinking about that book, anyway. You're 00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:21.460 still going on about the book, are you? Oh, I 00:26:21.460 --> 00:26:25.299 will do. I will do. Next time. It's just been 00:26:25.299 --> 00:26:28.339 so fantastic. So fantastic. Anyway, you take 00:26:28.339 --> 00:26:31.279 care. Every success with the album and... all 00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:33.640 the other interviews that you have and let's 00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.220 hope many more interviews come by. Thank you. 00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:38.500 Let's see you in that top 100 of the album charts. 00:26:39.180 --> 00:27:10.460 Thank you very much. Bye.
