Feb 18: Q is for Queen

An A-Z of bands through February suggested by Spotify when I type in each letter of the alphabet into the search...

So Spotify suggested Queen for 'Q'.

I've not really played a lot of Queen on Spotify, but it's one of the Q bands that will pop up when people search.

I certainly played a lot of it when I was younger, and I remember buying Queen 'Live Killers' album from Woolworths - a double LP, which I played a lot... 

I also bought the single for 'Bicycle Race' from the album Jazz... which I think was partly because of the design of the cover... the 'B' side was Fat Bottomed Girls.

I also remember this song coming out when I was at Primary school.

Some years ago, when I still did a lot of climbing, I was able to climb the Cioch on the Isle of Skye.

This is a dramatic spot: half way up a cliff which is hundreds of metres high.

It features in the film 'Highlander', the soundtrack to which had several songs by Queen.

Some details are here.

Of course, the iconic performance by Queen was as part of Live Aid (more on that to come when we get close to the anniversary of the event)....

All together... 'Daaay oh!"
