Angel

Kirsty MacColl: “Angel” (ZTT)

It was Virginia Woolf who described her mother as an angel of the house. Kirsty seems to be invoking a somewhat similar idea on this highly fashionable house-ish tune (no pun intended!), which has the obligatory four other mixes as well. It could go into Jane Campion’s stocking for The Piano. After all she made a film called Angel At My Table didn’t she?

But donning my Dame Edna cap may I suggest that our ever elegant President, Mrs Mary Robinson accept “Angel” as her X-mas present on behalf of all the women of Ireland, including those in West Belfast?
