My passion in life is music. I love listening to it (live or recorded - though of course, live is the best), dancing to it, talking about it and reading about it. It was only natural that one day I would do something like this.
I also write poetry and short stories.
I set up this blog as an offshoot of something I got involved with in December which was very inspiring, the campaign to get Jeff Buckley to Christmas Number One. I led a "protest" in Trafalgar Square. This really inspired me to spread awareness of the importance of listening to what I call *real* music. Find out a little more here:

This also led me to becoming involved with Oxjam, a sort of "child" of Oxfam. I promote the music.
The original "North Wind Blew South" was recorded by Philamore Lincoln who had his debut album in the 60s and released via an album in 1970.
This version, however, was recorded by Alela Diane (an amazing singer - well worth looking up on YouTube) for the Headless Heroes' album released last year.
The video is really cool, but the song, I'm now sure what does that remind me, but I'm having some kind of a dejavu moment when I'm listening to it right now. Yet can't point out why.
Thank you for sharing. I love music too, and this is my first time on your blog :)
Sounds like it is right out of the late 60's. Very similar in sound to Its a Beautiful Day
