Hello, I hope all is groovy.

Today, and based on the Ron Moody LP last week, I have continued the Oliver! theme. So say hello to Lily Klot. Born in Whitechapel in 1933, Lily eventually changed her most unusual name to something more acceptable to nightclub singing and stage, and based her new name on the song "Sweet Georgia Brown". A childhood chum of Lionel Bart, she met him again in the Oliver! stage auditions and got the part of Nancy. Whilst enjoying her success, she made a very good album of Kurt Weill classics and this is today's #50pFriday album. You can find it here, with the rest of the 50p albums from the month of June.

Also, you can watch both Lionel Bart and Georgia Brown explore their native East End in a classic and quite brilliant slice of late 1960s BBC. This was an episode of an occasional documentary strand called One Pair Of Eyes, and the questions asked by out lovely Georgia is "Who Are The Cockneys Now". This great little doc (even Vidal Sassoon pops up) was brough to my attention by Richard Salt, a member of this Trunk mailing list who dug it out once I'd written about her Weill LP in the Trunk Recommendations in late 2014. You can see the documentary and how the East End was changing back in 1968 here.

If you're listening to the OST Show tomorrow, I have a hip young musical schoolkid on the show, called 5tatic Stan. And I got told yesterday that DJ Food has continued his groovy on-line Flexibition with a record I sent him a while ago. Have a groovy look here at all the sexy Flexies.

I'm now off to the East End too, I have a new book to finish and more about that in a future mailing. No suprise it's going to be about records and that. And if you are off to Glastonbury I hope the weather is lovely and that you and the other 176,999 people have a super groovy time. Say hello to Burt Bacharach and Lionel Ritchie for me. I'd love to see Lionel at Glastonbury. Let's hope he's wearing the same trousers he was wearing here.

Thanks for listening

Jonny
