To tell the truth, I thought he was a football player from back in the '70's or '80's, turns out he's actually a Scottish singer, musician and producer (according to Wiki). Probably best leave this SW's own words:

'A track, on which he is featured, from any band/collective that he has worked with or in, i.e. Cindytalk/This Mortal Coil/The Freeze/Bambule/After The Flood/solo (if you can find anything'

Then we have these handy links:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindytalk
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fre...

There, you know as much as me now (or probably a lot more), go find a song . As usual, 10 pm Sunday night, provide a link, check back after posting, and if in any doubts, ask SussexWelsh, not me as I have no idea.

Wet and windy here for us this week, but I think the hurricane dude gave us a bit of a wide berth, take care out there.

According to Allmusic he is responsible for vocals with Pankow so hope this is okay.

Last Song - Pankow

Hi Val, a good bit of research there (I was unaware of the connection). However, following the information on Allmusic through to Discogs, he only provided vocals on a single track on one of their albums, released in 2005. I have found a link if you wish to nominate it:

An FYI, according to Discogs, Gordon is transgender, and should be referred to as 'she'.

Sometimes goes by the name Cindy, or just as often it appears, Cinder.

Hmmm, well, I gave SussexWelsh that extra hour he asked for, went and done a few little tasks, had some coffee, listened to a few CDs, had a toot and staggered off to bed. Then woke up this morning knowing I had to do something but no idea what. Then it struck me as I was working away this morning. So, it's a lunchtime launch this week.

9 noms, 3 votes each, closing at 10 pm Thursday.

Where did all the voters go? Very disappointingly, a third of our nommers didn't make it back to vote, giving us some very low scores this week.

The winner, with a rather measly 7 points, SussexWelsh takes his own round with Memories Of Skin and Snow. One point behind, a silver for Val with Pankow. And sharing the bronze, Brass Neck and the Duke with Kangaroo and The Doorway To The Sky.

Surely we can get a better response with the next round?

Sorry! No opportunity to listen from my hospital bed. 🤬🥵

Aaw, Lez. What's going on there? You being pumped full of fluids and metronidazole?
