The high notes were beyond me, the low notes too low and the middle notes rubbish - but when you are singing a great song by fabulous performers, who gives a damn! And this is what this series is all about.

Evocative writing that really brought to life the city Freddie and Montserrat sang their hearts out about... I've always wondered if Montserrat was named after the Montserrat, in itself not a bad place to visit when in Barcelona.
