At the start of 1991 I was beginning my third and final year at east 15 acting school and was back in Essex having had a wonderful time in Yorkshire. It was cold and wintry and I had just moved into a new flat that I was sharing with two girls called Kerry and Jeanette (one of whom is now my wife!).
Both Kerry and Jeanette were from Manchester as were a few other people at the college at the time. Another girl from Manchester Georgiea (yes that is spelt correctly) was a big fan of James and I remember this song being played around the school and our home and as a result it is one that I have come to know and love.
My friend Georgiea is a very talented actress and was a very good friend to me when I was at east 15. A feisty red head and ‘dangerous’ to know she ran away to join the circus, became a trapeze artiste and is still an inspiration! Whenever I hear this song I am reminded of ‘Manchester by proxy’ and my pals from that great city and Georgiea in particular.
Now listen to the song…..
