It Had To Happen
Does anyone know the provenance of the song “It Had To Happen” that Edwyn & Paul Quinn did on the Richard Skinner BBC radio show in 1985?
It sounds to me like quintessential Collins, but as far as I know never surfaced anywhere else.
The opening lines..
I was an afficionado
As green-skinned as an avocado
I tended to your every whim
As thick-skinned as a mandarin

Throughout its existence, he remained the key figure in the group as the frontman, chief songwriter and final arbiter of its musical direction.

I totally agree with this that it sounded quintessential which is very interesting. When I also read

Art Work and Bum Fuzz

My Bum Fuzz unit just arrived in California along with some plectrums with Edwin art. It took me along time to order this unit, but the twenty five year gestation period for it to be built surely eclipses my lack of urgency. Best regards all...
Thank you for the music

A while back I asked Edwyn if he would let me use his music on a little film I made. Here is the result: Mill Mechanics
Thanks for that.

Shareefa Energy – ‘Reasoning With Self’ - Review
A few months ago the BBC offered a profile of new emerging female poets, ‘Women Who Spit’. Watching the short films by Jemima Foxtrot, Cecilia Knapp and Deanna Rodger, I noted with great relief that the art of poetry is alive and well. I have always been fascinated by the medium. The ability to express intricate thoughts and feelings in a few lines of words. It is the most empowering process. And empowerment through self-expression… Continue

Dear Edwyn,
Can I just thank you for your contribution to my life. From that very first shiver I got listening to Felicity on the John Peel Show to the smile I still express today when you burst into laughter half way through Consolation Prize, it's important I let you know how much your music means to me before one of us croaks it.
I was hooked instantly and bought all the singles and albums, the ten inches, 12 inches and even ripped the flexi discs off Smash Hits and Melody…
