Right yes yes Happy New Year Happy New Year now let’s get on with it.

My first post of 2025 is my top played song of 2024. And it happens to be a song from 1995. Fairground. The dulcet tones of Mick Hucknall, a truly anthemic chorus, plus an arresting samba beat (originally Sergio Mendes’, via The Goodmen). Lovely stuff.

Shout out to the team at Balearic London for reawakening my love for this one on the dancefloor.
