Blancmange on TV!

White House Farm is the name of a new ITV six-part crime drama, which recalls the brutal horror of a whole family on the farm in question in 1985.

The soundtrack to this harrowing story includes a remake of ‘Feel Me’, a memorable slice of 80s synth pop by Blancmange, which originally appeared on their Happy Families album.

Track Of The Week

ARRIVAL ARE OUR ‘FRIENDS’!
Arrival were a London-based close-harmony pop-rock band, featuring singers originally from Liverpool. They enjoyed two chart hits, ‘I Will Survive’ and ‘Friends’, the latter reaching No. 8 in the UK in 1970. ‘Friends’ is a piano led ballad boasting a huge, upbeat chorus that exemplifies the performance of vocalist Dyan Birch. After disbanding, various members joined other projects such as Kokomo, Olympic Runners and Gonzalez, and became session musicians or singer while Dyan Birch became a backing singer on records by Bryan Ferry, Gloria Gaynor, Marianne Faithfull and many more. We now own the rights to all of Arrival’s recordings from 1969 and 1970 which were originally on Decca.
