  1. My Life in five songs

    A few years ago, Phil Cunningham had a programme on the Radio where celebrities chose five songs which were milestones in their lives. What are yours and why? Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley. My first ever purchased 78 rpm single. Love Me Do - The Beatles. Changed the course of music...

    I've just been listening to The Lonely Shepherd by Zamfir and the Blade Runner love theme by Vangelis and they're both truly beautiful. If we were to make a Hibs.net playlist of beautiful tracks, which would you nominate? PS. Listen to the songs I mentioned when you're ready to be chilled.
