The first of what will be two posts today…….
I’m not one for using streaming platforms, but SWC suggested that it might be worthwhile pulling together the TVV 800 into one playlist.
I’ve done my best over at Spotify. Not all the 800 songs (or the versions I included) were available, so there’s a fair few substitute songs (40 all told). Apologies if your favourite is missing.
