		<description><![CDATA[In the wake of the Rage Against the Machine Christmas No. 1 campaign, copy-cat campaigns have been bobbing up and down destined never to achieve the same success. I saw a bumper sticker the other day for the &#8220;Ultravox Vienna for No.1&#8243; campaign. When you delve a bit deeper on that one, you discover it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my spotlight this week is a song about weather and intimacy. It&#8217;s a song where my soul gets bared a wee bit, so if you&#8217;re squeamish or lacking the voyeuristic tendency most of us have, you&#8217;d best look away now. It&#8217;s complex in its simplicity or maybe it&#8217;s simple in it&#8217;s complexity, but we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week the spotlight is one of the more introspective songs from my Edinburgh student days (like Don&#8217;t Fall Again). Back in 1986 I was living at 10 Brougham Place, Tollcross &#8211; I was a student of Computer Science &#038; Electronics and shared a flat with two medical students and an arts student.

		<description><![CDATA[This is a slight departure on my usual Sunday Spotlight as, this week, I feature another songwriter&#8217;s song. In The City is the work of my good friend Nigel Coleman, a singer-songwriter from Co. Tipperary. From the moment I first heard this song, I loved the atmosphere and images it conjured up in my head.

It was born out of the shock of hearing that my flatmate George had suffered quite a serious fall, smashing his elbow in the process.

		<description><![CDATA[For my Sunday Spotlight this week, I&#8217;m going right back to my songwriting beginnings with a song that was born back in 1985 on a Friday night in Kelly&#8217;s Cellars, Belfast. It wouldn&#8217;t be accurate to claim it as one of my songs as it was a spontaneous collaboration &#8211; a blues number that sort [...]]]></description>
