119.0. "Wired - on TV Friday!!!!" by CHEFS::IMMSA () Tue Jun 21 1988 16:48

    For those in the UK who are interested, there is a programme on
    Channel 4 on Friday this week called "Wired". It is a late night
    music programme and this week it features Ry Cooder, who they bill
    as "master of the slide guitar".
    
    If you cannot stay up late and have no video, it is repeated on
    Sunday morning.
    
    Hopefully we will all get to see what I am always going on about!!!
    
    
    regards

119.1	I need a memory upgrade	GAO::MMCMULLIN		`Tue Jun 21 1988 17:09`	10
	I saw Wired on Friday night and it featured a female singer whose name I cannot remember. I watched it again on Sunday morning and again managed to miss her name. Can anybody remember what it was? She was brilliant. The show itself is fairly good. I liked the bit on Steve Windwood last week. Maurice.
119.2	Who's that girl?	SUBURB::OAKLEYM	Tutti Frutti	`Wed Jun 22 1988 14:55`	5
	Julia Fordham (sp?)
119.3	I wanna hear more!	GAO::MMCMULLIN		`Wed Jun 22 1988 15:38`	6
	Thanks. Now for the next question , has she any records released or is she a new discovery who has'nt got around to it yet? She is the best new act I have heard in ages. Maurice.
119.4		SUBURB::OAKLEYM	Tutti Frutti	`Wed Jun 22 1988 16:28`	6
	She was interviewed on 'Wired' two weeks ago I think. Apparently she used to be a backing singer for most of the big chart names, but now she's going solo. I think they said she's got an album out but I'm not sure.

	Yes, Julia Fordham does have an album out, or at least the release date is imminent. The album is called "Julia Fordham" (pretty snappy title eh?), and contains the new single "Happy Ever After" (as shown on Wired), and her debut release, "The Comfort Of Strangers" Ian!
119.6	Thanks!	OFFCLU::MMCMULLIN		`Wed Jun 22 1988 17:28`	5
	Thank you all very much. I'll keep an eye out for it in the shops. I hope it gets release here in Ireland 8-). Maurice.
119.7	The Press ...	KERNEL::COHEN	Keep Music Live	`Wed Jun 22 1988 21:46`	5
	Review of the album in this weeks N.M.E. - quite good by all accounts. David.
119.8	on the wadio	GAO::MMCMULLIN		`Thu Jun 30 1988 14:40`	8
	Update on Julia Fordham, Her material is getting late night airplay on national radio here in Ireland (RTE 2). Mike Moloney (the Dj) has played it every night this week just after 1 am. I must go and look for the Lp on Saturday if I survive the DEC end of year party on Friday night.
119.9	Julia ...	KERNEL::COHEN	Keep Music Live	`Thu Jun 30 1988 15:19`	6
	Julia Forham's single is in the charts right now - album is good too!! David.
119.10	Julia Fordham	OFFCLU::MMCMULLIN		`Mon Jul 11 1988 19:05`	9
	Update no. 2. I managed to get the album (thanks to friends who were visiting Dublin) and I am very impressed! Very nice of her to include the lyrics on the sleeve. The album seems to be selling very well in Dublin as HMV were sold out and Virgin had only two copies left!.
