I chose Surfaces because I really enjoy their positive and uplifting style of music. I selected βSunday Bestβ because its cheerful vibe and feel-good message always create a happy mood. What makes their music special to me is the combination of catchy melodies, positive energy, and a refreshing sound that is easy to enjoy.
Dexys Midnight Runners, Kevin Rowland - Come On Eileen (1982)
I grew up with music from the 1970s and 1980s but this song is forever-associated with the start of a new chapter in my life. I finished high school in 1982, the same year the song was released, and nervously faced the future.
Before starting university, I spent the 10-week summer break as a "student temp" (my first paid job) in a food factory which supplied the UK supermarkets. It was an "eye-opener." How fortunate was I?
