Theme from Crossroads
The Tony Hatch Orchestra
Avengers and Other Top Sixties Themes (1998)2:00Whoa. Wait a minute. It’s Tuesday evening on East Coast FM. If you have to play the Crossroads theme there is only version that should be played on The Sundown Sessions. It HAS to be Paul MacCartney…

Crossroads
Wings
Venus And Mars (1975)1:03Growing up in the 70s. 3 channels. bbc1, bbc2 and itv -possibly why 17M+ viewers tuned in to watch - I never really watched it - it was just on & there’s 2 things I remember about that programme. Benny & his wooly hats and the theme tune. We opened with the original and played Wings version which featured for a brief spell. It featured on the album Venus & Mars and was the b-side to Juniors Farm

Or better yet, give the page a like, follow and share and lets spread the love…

The Storm
Big Country
The Crossing (1983)6:21The man that made me pick up the guitar and later go out and by an ebow. Bagpipe sound. A tag that stuck, they couldnt shake off and something they were vocal about not liking (or rather fed up hearing). Because really, by that point it wasnt a ’new’ sound. Bowie was using it 5 years earlier on Heroes…
