Something Went Wrong (Saturday 6th August 2022)

I popped over to Marlborough during the afternoon and took a few pictures. I had a brief chat to Val about the birdlife on the Kennet in the Waterfront Gardens and bought a few groceries in Waitrose.
Unbeknownst to me a knob on the camera had got jolted from AV to M which meant that all the pictures I took were overexposed. Luckily nothing important was taken, and all were deleted, apart from this one which after some fartnarkling will have to stand as a record of the excursion. The Parade is a newly built cinema, somewhat reversing a national trend of closures, and doing rather well. When photographed properly last month it looked like this.

Included on the Grapefruit compilation CD Gathered From Coincidence, this Tom Springfield folk-pop composition was adapted from a Russian folk tune called Stenka Razin, and was produced by him at Abbey Road Studios, though the band were from Melbourne. It knocked the Rolling Stones off the number one spot in the UK singles chart and stayed there for three weeks. It remains one of the top 50 best-selling singles in the UK and was number one in Australia for six weeks. The song traditionally closed all Seekers concerts.
