.....Only problem is it reminds me of Brian Walden!! :heheh: MOUNTAINs version will always be remembered as "The weekend world" theme.....its not often you had heavy rock and politics.
I used to like the theme by Andrew Lloyd Weber to The South Bank Show aswell :grinthumb

I'm old enough to remember Peter Jay, who married James 'Sunny Jim' Callaghan's daughter, Margaret. Brian Walden was very clever, he did a series about famous people and it was completely unscripted. Gary Moore played guitar on the Julian Lloyd Weber Variations.

Great to see these old boys play the Hard Rock Hell N.W.O.B.H.M Festival !
Guitarist Mike Hopkins is in his 70s now...
They played some old favourites, some new off the new album plus a tribute to Dio/Sabbath playing a fine rendition of Heaven and hell

The new album sounds great !
