Playing Bobby's Girl on a Dansette style record player in the early 70's. There were several children in the room around the ages of 7-14 so perhaps it was a birthday party. I was about 6 or 7 myself. There was a lot of 60's music being played on 45's, I sort of remember A Hard Day's Night being played as well.
i dont really remember.... theres alot of vague memories. my mum used to listen to the radio and play her kenneth mckellar album, so something about taking the high road, lol. i remember seeing cliff richard performing the young ones, and i remember the shadows 'wonderful land'.
I remember seeing the video for Billy Joel's Uptown Girl on Top Of The Pops and wandering why the woman in the big hat was dancing with the car mechanics.
I also remember the Flying Pickets performing Only You on TOTP and being scared by the bald headed guy who looked a bit like Uncle Fester.
Both of the above would have been approx late 1983 making me 5 years old.
My earliest would be from when I was about 3,Cliff Richard had just had a number 1 album which my mum played constantly...20 years on we still have the album and still play it,it has some cracking songs on it
I was born in 1991 and so I remember sort of from 95 onwards. My mum had two favourite singers and that was Cher so it was mainly her albums 'Heart of Stone' and 'Love Hurts' that she would play a lot. Her other favourite singer was Toni Braxton and 'Secrets' was played a lot too. My Dad loves Alice Cooper so had to listen to him constantly.
My older sister is 10 years older than me so she was a teenager. So I remember being in her room and listening to Take That, Blur, Boyzone, Alishas Attic, 5ive. Then when I was 5, my first favourite band of my own was the Spice Girls

I was born in 1957 and my family had a Dansette too. I used to love Bobby's Girl when I was little and thought it was addressed to Bobby Charlton:)
I remember listening to The Beatles on the radio singing "She loves you". It would have been around 1963 I think and I would have been 5 years old or so. I don't think I ever got to hear all of the song either. My Mother hated The Beatles and whenever they came on the radio she turned it off!
Clearly - 'Two way family favourites' and 'Sing something simple' on the radio. My Grandma had the radio on all day.
Ahhh yes, two sunday shows. Sing something simple followed the chart run down i believe, but was a staple in our house. Two or three way family favourites was on whilst mum was making sunday roast dinner.
I can remember watching Sandie Shaw win Eurovision.
I remember my mum having Radio 1 on all day every day when it first started and they used to play " Baby Now That I've Found You" by The Foundations about 10 times a day.
It's so much a part of my early memories now.
Listening to an album by a woman whose greatest hits was always being played by my mum
That woman, was none other than Madonna. I was 5 years old and i was soon demanding for that album to be put on. That is my earliest memory of music. That and learning how to control the remote control and always having the music channels on, where i would discover the Vogue video.

I still listen to a lot of 60s today.
I have quite a varied taste in music.

An early favourite of mine too. Used to strum along on my steel-stringed plastic toy guitar.
Due to Father it was classical music.
Same here, I like loads of stuff.
