"I grew up in a house filled with classical music. There was no Rock N Roll ever played at home.
"Somehow though, Scottish popsters Wet Wet Wet infiltrated my life at around the age of about 11 - and I was hooked. My first ever record was Wet Wet Wet's Part One Greatest Hits. This included such gems as 'Goodnight Girl', 'Sweet Surrender' and 'Hold Back The River'; but their big hit around that time was a cover of The Troggs sixties hit 'Love Is All Around'.
"I bought two tickets for a Wet Wet Wet show at Sydney Entertainment Centre; one for me and one for my sister. Unfortunately for her, she had school camp that weekend. Unfortunately for me, that meant my Dad had to come instead! Regardless, I still loved the gig.
"I have to admit, I do still sometimes listen to it. But then, to be honest, I still like every album I've ever bought. If you liked it at the time, that's cool. There's something to recommend it."
Sadly for Wet Wet Wet, things didn't end well. Squeaky clean lead singer Marty Pellow ended up as a heroin addict.
