ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS: During both world wars, a network of voice pipes was used for shipboard communication, with one end of wood or metal, one end shaped to fit the speaker's throat and the other connected via a long air pipe to a receiver cone, which was flared to amplify the sound. The pipe was shielded by a layer of waterproof textile fabric, which, being a poor conductor of sound, allowed long lengths of tube to be used without interference.

Can there be anything new to say about the king and queen of excess?Lewis answers with a stonking yes as Lewis' distinctive insight and wit bring the tale-binding, super-charged Hollywood couple who lived life as a spectacle and whose bed-hopping earned Vatican condemnation as 'erotic vagrancy.' Voluptuous Liz and Brooding Burton were two diamond-decked, mink-lined icons of indulgence for those who merged with illusion and reality. Their extravagance was delectable.

Duran Duran Duran's harrying Halloween party is more trick than candy, according to ADRIAN THRILLS

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 27, 2023
Duran Duran Duran's Thank You album, 1995's Thank You, was dubbed the worst LP of all time by music mag Q. And the group admitted that the lamentable album, which demolished songs by Lou Reed, The Temptations, and Elvis Costello, was not commercial suicide, and that, oddly for one of their debuts, it did not even make the Top Ten. Danse Macabre, the company's most recent attempt, is certainly an improvement. It's a Halloween-themed soirée, with a freshness and a sense of fun that was missing on Thank You.

ADRIAN THRILLS: Burt and Elvis's lost musical is a fitting swansong for a pop genius

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 3, 2023
BRADY THRILLS: When Burt Bacharach died, the pop hits were focused on his genius: Walk On By, Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, The Look Of Love, and dozens of others, all created with lyricist Hal David in the 1960s. They cemented their position as the king of romantic easy listening, combining poise and emotional tenacity. But he wasn't the only king of the Swing Sixties. He came long into his youth and established a fruitful partnership with Elvis Costello. The two co-writers of the film comedy Grace Of My Heart in 1995, and they're still making music together as recently as September 2021 in Hollywood. It wasn't a natural match. Costello began his career as an outraged young man whose punk's enthusiasm was channeled into singles like Pump It Up, summoning images of jet-set parties and wide American freeways. However, the two musicians shared a passion for classical songwriting and Costello grew up in Liverpool enjoying Bacharach-penned music on the BBC's Light Programme. Every tune written by Bacharach & Costello is included in a new anthology, many of which have never been released.

She has since converted the brand into a brand and brought the same vivacious spirit to the stage as she traded the warmth of her London home for the excitement of the live arena on this year's Kitchen Disco tour. Her first live album, which is out on double CD and digitally, rekindles the feel-good spirit.
