He will be singing - and songs from the Britney Spears songbook - we are told......

That would be "Oops I Did It Again", mercifully the only BS song RT covers, from his 1000 Years of Popular Music" program, which I had the privilege of seeing him perform this year.

His singing is a taste I acquired years ago.

Cheers,
Michael

His signing is brutal, but I rather like it.

Got to give the man his due

His voice is like a brick stuck under a door but he is one of the best writers and guitarist around.

all the best John

It's not to everyone's taste, but at least RT's voice is individual. More than can be said for hordes of boy bands.

Any suggestions for a suitable RT song for Britney to cover?

Got to agree with you there Scra


Shambles........How about a new song written by RT for Brit the title being "I Lost My Pot Bellied Stove"

all the best John

How about - Time To Ring Some Changes?

Just in case anyone was going to dismiss him as this - Richard Partridge - writing about R.T. in the Radio Times - warns us.

Don't let anyone dismiss him as "folk", although his Scots/London roots pervade his music.
