Referring to his new album, Marty added: “It’s the album I’ve always wanted to write.

Originally born Reginald Smith, from mid-1958 to the end of 1959, Wilde was one of the leading British rock and roll singers, along with Tommy Steele and Cliff Richard with his backing group called the Wildcats. The new album also features Marty’s other daughter Roxanne Rizzo-Wilde with additional input from son, Ricky who is a songwriter. Marty and Kim have even managed to film a video for the single in lockdown, even though they can’t be stood beside each other. Marty’s daughter Kim carved out a remarkable career for herself as she followed in her dad’s musical footsteps. “And what better way to celebrate than by bringing back the sound of the 60’s, but with a modern twist.” “Every day of my life has been special with Joyce and the family, and I wanted to go back to 1960, where it all began. It’s 60 years since the start of the decade, 60 years that we’ve been married and 60 years since our gorgeous Kim was born. Marty, who had a pacemaker fitted during lockdown after collapsing at home, said: “60’s World is my way of celebrating Joyce, the woman that I’ve loved, and whose been the rock of our family, for 60 years. The track is taken from Marty’s historic new album, Running Together, which is a 15-track musical journey through the past eight decades of Marty’s life with the songs all self-penned or co-written by him.Īt 81, Marty is the only living rocker to have had hit singles or albums across eight decades – beating even his old pal Cliff Richard.Īnd he wrote many of daughter Kim’s 80s hits including Kids in America, Chequered Love, Four Letter Word and Cambodia.

There will be a pub stop plus there will be plenty of opportunities for toilet breaks in Regents Park, Paddington Street Gardens and Green Park. Many more musical references en route including Marie Lloyd, Handel, Elgar, Hendrix, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, Queen, Kim Wilde, Sex Pistols and Dolores from The Cranberries. There will be plenty of tangents along the way such as the Baker Street bank robbery of 1971, Danger Mouse, the Mayfair birthplace of Queen Elizabeth II, Twiggy, Radio Luxembourg, Banksy, Wendy Richard, Phileas Fogg, locations from Denis Waterman era Minder, an abandoned tube station, Harry Nilsson's flat where both (Mama) Cass Elliott and Keith Moon died. It is said that here ducks once wandered about among the long grass and puddles, women did their washing at the water's edge and a hospital for plague victims was erected here near the open fields. Just off Bond Street, Lancashire Court was developed on what used to be the east bank of the Tyburn. From the place where the Tyburn crossed Oxford Street, the Great Conduit was built in 1236, to supply water through conduits from the Tyburn to Cheapside in the City. It also gave its name to the predecessors of Oxford Street and Park Lane, which were formerly called Tyburn Road and Tyburn Lane respectively. The Tyburn gave its name to the village of Tyburn, originally a manor of Marylebone, which was recorded in the Domesday Book and which stood approximately at the west end of what is now Oxford Street.

This will be a relaxing all-day event walking roughly 7 miles covering so many clues of this now subterranean river and how it defined the area as we head through St Johns Wood, Marylebone, Mayfair and Pimlico with Paul reading from his London's Lost Rivers book and various Victorian publications and referring to archive material, ancient maps and a modern-day one showing the river now used as the King's Scholar Pond sewer which runs partly underneath Buckingham Palace. An all-day guided (above ground) walking tour of the River Tyburn's course from South Hampstead (Swiss Cottage) to the River Thames in Pimlico.
