If You Knew Suzi

No, not that Suzi - Suzi Chunk.

What do you mean, Suzi who? The Suzi Chunk whose only album, "Girl From The Neck Down", is a rather splendid slab of 1960s style retro pop, that's who. You can get yourself a copy from the Groovy Uncle site on Bandcamp.   

Up to date information about Suzi is hard to come by. Her Last.fm page covers her story up to the release of the album in 2012. After that she was a featured vocalist on a number of Groovy Uncle albums but does not seem to have been involved with them since 2017. 

Suzi's LinkedIn page says she is or was lead singer with Knitwear Junkees (last spotted playing Merthyr Rising and other Welsh festivals in 2019), Canute Funk Collective (Facebook page last updated 2016) and Get Ready! (of whom there are many including a former Belgian boy band - posibly one for Rol's Namesakes series).

Wherever Ms Chunk is I hope she is thriving. And in the unlikely event that she reads this, thanks for a very nice little record.

Of course we can't let the moment pass without a little something from Suzi Uno. After all, this is a woman I have had a crush on since before I could spell 'hormones'. It hasn't worn off yet and by this stage I suspect its not going to. So here is an oldie followed by the lead single from her brand new album with KT Tunstall.
